Driver's view · People on the road
Give way to anyone crossing in front of you if there is any chance of hitting them, crossing or not.
What it means
A driver's view up a city street between tall buildings, with your yellow bonnet in front. There is no zebra and no lights in sight, yet three people are on the road: one in your lane ahead and two more walking across from the right. Being away from a marked crossing gives you no right of way over them. Whenever there is a danger of hitting someone on foot, you slow down and give way.
Scan both footpaths for people stepping off the kerb mid-block.
Slow down as soon as someone moves onto the road.
Give way, and stop if you need to, without sounding the horn at them.
Right.Not quite. The answer is A.
You must give way to a pedestrian whenever there is a danger of hitting them, crossing or not.
