Driver duties and responsibilityQuestion #15317
You are driving a car. You are approaching a crossing where a pedestrian with a white cane is standing and waiting for a chance to step onto it. What must you do?
Explanation
A driver must always and everywhere — even outside a pedestrian crossing — give way to a person with a visual impairment who is signalling with a white cane. This is an absolute duty that calls for extra attention.
KET reference: KET 35: Everywhere (even outside a pedestrian crossing) the driver must let a person with a visual impairment signalling with a white cane pass.
