You are driving on a road with one lane each way. Bus A has stopped at a bus stop on the edge of the opposite lane, and people who got off the bus are on the sidewalk beside it. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight on a road with one lane each way
- Bus A has stopped at a bus stop on the edge of the opposite lane
- Two people who got off are on the sidewalk beside the bus
Pedestrians must not cross directly in front of or behind a vehicle (Article 10(4) of the Road Traffic Act), but in practice people who get off a bus often come out in front of or behind it. Even if your lane is clear, you must anticipate danger from hidden spots (Article 48(1)).
Answer: ②, ④
Explanation
Pedestrians must not cross directly in front of or behind a vehicle (Road Traffic Act Article 10(4)), but in reality people who got off a bus often dash out in front of or behind it to get to the other side. They appear late because the bus hides them, so drivers should slow down and be ready to stop at any moment (Article 48(1)). Keeping your speed or accelerating because your lane looks clear, or sounding the horn continuously, is wrong.
