The car ahead has an elderly driver sign on its rear and is somewhat slow to start and accelerate. What is the most desirable way to drive?
💡 Hint
The elderly driver sign asks other drivers for consideration (Article 7-2 of the Road Traffic Act). Recall the safe distance duty of the vehicle behind when the vehicle ahead reacts slowly (Article 19(1)), and basic rules such as the ban on overtaking inside an intersection.
Answer: ①
Explanation
The elderly driver sign (Road Traffic Act Article 7-2) lets other drivers recognize an elderly driver's car and show consideration. The right response is to expect slower reactions and keep a sufficient safe distance (Article 19(1)); urging with the horn or headlights or tailgating can cause crashes and retaliatory driving. Overtaking inside an intersection is prohibited.
