You are driving a passenger car along an aisle of a large supermarket's underground parking lot, and ahead a person pushing a shopping cart is walking along the edge of the aisle. What is the correct way to drive?
💡 Hint
The duty to keep a safe distance and drive slowly when passing pedestrians applies not only on roads but also in places other than roads, such as parking lots (Article 27(6)3 of the Road Traffic Act). Also remember that the horn is not a tool for making pedestrians move aside.
Answer: ④
Explanation
Under Article 27(6)3 of the Road Traffic Act, even in places other than roads, such as parking lots, drivers must keep a safe distance and drive slowly when passing pedestrians, and drive slowly or stop temporarily if they would obstruct them. Parking lots need extra care because pillars and parked cars limit visibility and people can step out suddenly. Using the horn to clear the way only startles pedestrians and is not correct.
