8. A pedestrian with a white cane or guide dog is at a crossing. What must drivers do?
Correct answer: Yield or stop, and stay behind the crosswalk so the path is clear

10. A car ahead makes a sudden U-turn across the road. What does the motorcycle manual advise?
Correct answer: Slow down, get the driver's attention with your horn, and continue carefully
Sudden U-turns are the most dangerous cut-ins because they can block the whole road; you can't predict the driver, so slow and make yourself known.
