Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. stop the vehicle to allow them to pass
Explanation
The question is about how a driver should behave towards a person with a white cane crossing the roadway. You must stop the vehicle to allow them to cross - answer A.
The Road Traffic Act states that when a person with a disability using a special sign, or a person with visibly reduced mobility, is crossing the roadway, the driver is obliged to stop the vehicle to allow them to cross. A white cane is exactly such a special sign - it shows that the person is blind or partially sighted - and the rule is not limited to pedestrian crossings: it applies wherever such a person is crossing the roadway. Answer B is wrong, because the horn may be used only to warn of danger, and in a built-up area only in the case of immediate danger, and the horn may frighten and confuse a blind person instead of helping. Answer C has no connection with the situation. So you stop at a safe distance, do not sound the horn and do not move off until the person has left the roadway.
