Attitude
You are turning left into a side road and a pedestrian is waiting to cross that road. What should you do?
- Turn quickly before the pedestrian steps out
- Sound your horn to warn them to wait
- Give way and let the pedestrian crossCorrect
- Carry on, as vehicles always have priority
Why?
Rule 170 says you should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which you are turning; if they have started to cross, they have priority. Slow down and be ready to stop as you make the turn.
