There is a footbridge nearby, but an elderly person with a walking stick, unable to climb the stairs, is slowly crossing the road where there is no crosswalk. Which TWO are correct ways to drive? Select TWO
The law sets the driver's duty when an elderly person or others who cannot use crossing facilities such as overpasses are crossing the road (Article 49(1)2(c) of the Road Traffic Act). Keep in mind that elderly pedestrians walk slowly and may judge and move slowly, and think about the risks even after they have finished crossing.
Answer: ③, ④
Explanation
Article 49(1)2(c) of the Road Traffic Act requires drivers to stop temporarily when elderly people or others who cannot use crossing facilities such as footbridges are crossing the road. Since elderly people walk slowly and may react late, it is safest to check around and start off slowly even after confirming they have crossed. Honking may startle them and cause a fall.
