Revision question · Band 1 road procedure

You're driving in a town and want to turn left at a junction. What should you do if pedestrians are crossing at the junction?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Give way to themThis was the right answer

If you're turning into a side road, pedestrians already crossing the road have priority and you should give way to them. Don't

• wave them across the road

• sound your horn

• flash your headlights

• give any other misleading signal - other road users may misinterpret your signal and you might lead the pedestrian into a dangerous situation.

If a pedestrian is slow or indecisive, be patient and wait. Don't hurry them across by revving your engine.
