How should you approach a pedestrian who is visually impaired or with a cane?

• A. Ignore them and proceed carefully.
• B. Exercise extra caution; yield to them in crosswalks.
• C. Sound your horn to alert them.
• D. Wait for them to move first.

Answer: (B)

When approaching a pedestrian who is visually impaired or using a cane, the priority is safety. They may not see your vehicle, so you must exercise extra caution and yield in crosswalks. Slow down as you near the intersection, be prepared to stop, and allow them to cross or finish crossing before you proceed. Do not honk or rush them, and avoid blocking the crosswalk or making abrupt movements. Give them space and time — your patience helps protect them and others who are navigating with limited sight.

In short, yield to them in crosswalks and proceed only when it’s safe.
