What should you do if a pedestrian steps into your path?

• A. Accelerate to pass quickly.
• B. Slow or stop, yield right of way, and communicate with your crew and bystanders.
• C. Honk aggressively and proceed.
• D. Ignore the pedestrian.

Answer: (B)

When a pedestrian steps into your path, safety means giving them the right of way. Slow or stop as needed, letting the person cross safely, and clearly communicate with your crew and bystanders about your intentions so there’s no confusion. After the pedestrian has cleared, proceed with caution. Accelerating, honking aggressively, or ignoring the situation puts the pedestrian at risk and is not acceptable. The basic rule is to reduce speed, yield to people crossing, and coordinate with others to keep everyone safe.
