Attitude

You have stopped at a zebra crossing for a pedestrian. Should you wave them across?

Yes, wave them across so they know it is safe
No, waiting quietly is safer than waving them on
Correct
Yes, flash your headlights to invite them over
Yes, sound your horn so they cross quickly

Why?

Rule 195 says do not wave, flash your lights or use your horn to invite pedestrians across; another vehicle may be approaching that you cannot control. Simply wait and let the pedestrian decide when it is safe to cross.
