Texas Car / Permit practice question · Right-of-Way
A pedestrian using a white cane or guided by a service dog is crossing ahead. You must:
Answer choices
- stop and yield the right-of-way so they can cross safely— Correct answer
- drive around them quickly
- proceed, because pedestrians must always yield to cars
- honk repeatedly to let them know you are there
Why this is the answer
Stop and yield so the pedestrian can cross safely. A white cane or an assistance animal can mean the person is blind, partially blind, or disabled, so take the necessary precautions to avoid injuring or endangering them. Expect blind pedestrians at bus stops, intersections, business districts and near schools for the blind, and bring your vehicle to a full stop whenever that is what keeps them safe.
