BDifficulty 2/5

If a pedestrian approaches a crossing while looking at a phone, what should the driver do to reduce the risk of hitting them?

Correct answer

Heighten attention, moderate speed and be ready to give way.

Heighten observation, adapt speed and be ready to give way and stop when required. A distracted pedestrian retains their priority rights; distraction does not authorise proceeding carelessly. Avoid gestures or flashes that might invite crossing without checking other hazards. Do not use the horn to hurry them; an exceptional warning to prevent a possible accident is a different case.
