Question 924 in the bank

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

View through a windshield: a man in a white shirt stands at the right end of a zebra crossing by the kerb, a white minibus on the left, a traffic light on a pole at right.
  1. Stop 12 meters before the pedestrian crossing and allow the pedestrian to finish crossing safely.
  2. The pedestrian noticed you and therefore he should stop and allow you to cross the intersection safely.
  3. The pedestrian doesn’t notice you. Honk gently to signal him that you wish to continue driving.
  4. Correct answer: Slow down and even stop if needed, and allow the pedestrian to finish crossing safely.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down and even stop if needed, and allow the pedestrian to finish crossing safely.

A pedestrian is at the edge of the pedestrian crossing, so slow down and be ready to stop, to let them finish crossing safely. Do not assume they have noticed you and will stop. Do not honk at them or overtake them before they finish crossing. The driver is responsible for preventing harm to the pedestrian.
