How is a driver supposed to deal with a situation in which pedestrians are crossing his driving lane on a crossing whilst he is making a right turn?
- He should continue driving, because vehicles have priority of passage in intersections and therefore pedestrians must wait.
- Correct answer: Slow down and even stop, and allow the pedestrians to cross at the pedestrian crossing.
- Honk to warn the pedestrians and continue driving into the intersection.
- Continue driving into the intersection, regardless of the pedestrians.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down and even stop, and allow the pedestrians to cross at the pedestrian crossing.
Pedestrians on a pedestrian crossing have the right of way, even when a vehicle is turning right at an intersection. The driver must slow down, and stop completely if needed, until they have finished crossing. Vehicles do not have priority over pedestrians at a crossing. Honking does not give the driver the right to continue. It only startles the pedestrians and puts them at risk.
