Passing target: 80% (40/50)
You are driving in the right lane of a road with two lanes in your direction. Ahead, a car in the left lane has stopped at a marked crosswalk to let a pedestrian cross. What must you do?
A approaches in the right lane while B has stopped in the left lane before a marked crosswalk. Pedestrian C is crossing in front of B, where the stopped car can hide C from A’s driver.
Correct answer: Stop, and do not pass the stopped car while the pedestrian is crossing.
Why
A stopped car or truck can block your view of a person walking in front of it, and that person may step into your lane without seeing you. Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users, and drivers bear the main duty to prevent these crashes. On a multilane road, stop far enough back from the crosswalk that you do not block the view of drivers in the lanes next to you.
