Question 918 in the bank

How are you required to conduct yourself according to the event that is depicted in the following picture?

View through a windshield: a man in a dark jacket and jeans walks across the road ahead, with white-striped crossing behind him, parked cars, palm trees and a building.
  1. Drive faster and move to the left lane.
  2. Stop next to the pedestrian and explain to him that pedestrians should use the pedestrian crossing behind him.
  3. Stop before the pedestrian and signal to him in whatever way that there is a pedestrian crossing behind him.
  4. Correct answer: Slow down, show extreme caution, and don’t do anything that might endanger or scare the pedestrian.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down, show extreme caution, and don’t do anything that might endanger or scare the pedestrian.

A pedestrian crossing away from the crossing is still at risk, and the driver must avoid hitting him. So slow down, take extreme care and be ready to stop. Passing him or stopping to lecture or signal to him is wrong, because it can startle him into a sudden movement and endanger him and the surrounding traffic.
