Question 1318 in the bank

You are driving in the left lane of a one-way road. The driver in the right lane before you slowed down due to a pedestrian crossing the road from right to left. You are close to the pedestrian crossing, and therefore:

  1. You should accelerate and quickly pass the crossing before the pedestrian arrives.
  2. Use the horn to warn the passenger and quickly pass before him.
  3. Continue driving normally; the pedestrian should make sure not to do anything risky and not to disturb you.
  4. Correct answer: You should slow down and allow the pedestrian to finish crossing.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: You should slow down and allow the pedestrian to finish crossing.

A pedestrian who has already started crossing at a pedestrian crossing has priority, so you should slow down and allow the pedestrian to finish crossing. A vehicle that has slowed down in the adjacent lane may hide the pedestrian, who will keep crossing into your lane. Using the horn, or accelerating to pass in front of the pedestrian, does not let the pedestrian finish crossing safely.
