Wait and give way to the pedestrianThis was the right answer

You should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross the road into which or from which you're turning. Be patient if they’re cautious, and let them check that it’s safe from all directions before they step into the road. Do not signal or wave them to cross.
