You are driving down a hill on a wet road and approach a Zebra crossing where pedestrians are waiting at the kerb. What is the correct sequence of actions you should take from your initial approach until you safely drive on?
- 1Check your mirrors and initiate smooth, progressive braking well before reaching the zigzag markings to account for the wet road conditions.
- 2Bring the vehicle to a controlled stop before the broken give-way line, keeping the crossing area completely unobstructed.
- 3Apply the parking brake and remain stationary, refraining from waving pedestrians across, flashing headlights, or revving the engine.
- 4Wait until all pedestrians have safely stepped onto the opposite pavement, conduct all-round mirror and blind-spot checks, and move off smoothly.
Cevap
The correct sequence begins with checking mirrors and braking early before the zigzag markings, followed by stopping before the broken give-way line, securing the vehicle with the parking brake without beckoning pedestrians, and finally completing all-round observation checks before moving off once the pedestrians are safely on the pavement.
The correct procedure follows the standard Mirror-Signal-Manoeuvre routine adapted for pedestrian crossings: early speed management before the zigzag area, a definitive stop behind the give-way marking, securing the vehicle while giving precedence without hazardous beckoning gestures, and conducting comprehensive safety checks after pedestrians have fully cleared the roadway.
