  2. Wait patiently and allow them enough time to complete the crossingCevap
  3. C

  4. D
    Move quickly past them without checking your left-side blind spot

Cevap

Wait patiently and allow them enough time to complete the crossing
Older pedestrians often take longer to cross the carriageway and may not judge vehicle approach speeds as quickly. Drivers must be patient, stop, and give them ample time to cross safely without rushing them or revving the engine.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the vulnerable road user and evaluate their pace
Recognise that older pedestrians may have restricted mobility, reduced hearing, or difficulty judging vehicle speed.
Older people often require significantly more time and care when crossing the carriageway.
2
Hold your position and give way safely
Stop and remain stationary without revving the engine or gesturing.
This allows the pedestrian to cross at their own pace without feeling rushed, intimidated, or panicked.
