A driver approaches a pedestrian crossing marked on the road.Although ther are no pedestrians on the crossing. The driver should,
- Correct answer: Slow down to ensure that there no pedestrians in the vicinity.
- Pass with caution but no need to slow down.
- Accelerate before pedestrians arrive
- Sound the horn and accelerate to clear the crossing
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down to ensure that there no pedestrians in the vicinity.
Even when the crossing is empty, a pedestrian may suddenly step off the pavement or appear from behind a parked vehicle or another obstacle. So the driver should slow down before the crossing and make sure no pedestrians nearby are about to cross. Speeding up or sounding the horn only increases the danger and gives no right to pass.
