A white cane fitted with red reflective bands indicates that the pedestrian carrying it is both deaf and blind.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

True
The statement is true because Rule 207 of the UK Highway Code explicitly states that a person carrying a white cane with a red band (or walking with a dog wearing a red and white checked harness) is both deaf and blind. Drivers should be aware that these pedestrians may not be aware of approaching traffic.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the distinctive features of the pedestrian's mobility aid described in the statement.
The cane is white with red reflective bands.
Different colour combinations on canes and harnesses indicate specific sensory impairments under the UK Highway Code.
2
Recall Highway Code Rule 207 regarding vulnerable road users with sensory disabilities.
A plain white cane indicates visual impairment, whereas red bands indicate deafblindness (combined visual and hearing loss).
Understanding this distinction helps drivers anticipate that the pedestrian cannot hear horn warnings, engine noise, or see visual signals.
3
Evaluate the truth value of the statement.
The statement is True.
The statement accurately reflects official Highway Code rules regarding deafblind pedestrians.
