Cevap

Wait patiently and give them plenty of time to cross without revving your engine
When turning into a side road, drivers must give way to pedestrians who have started crossing or are waiting to cross. Older road users may take longer to cross safely, so drivers must remain stopped and patient without revving the engine or edging forward.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Scan the junction and identify vulnerable pedestrians crossing the mouth of the road you intend to enter.
Recognise that the older pedestrian has priority under Highway Code Rule H2 and may require more time and care to cross safely.
Vulnerable road users, such as older pedestrians, may have reduced mobility or sensory awareness and need extra time.
2
Bring your vehicle to a complete and steady halt at a safe distance without revving the engine or inching forward.
The pedestrian can complete their crossing without feeling rushed, alarmed, or intimidated.
Aggressive engine noises or vehicle movement can cause panic and increase the risk of trips or falls.
