Revision question · Carrying passengers

A passenger is boarding your bus. What does it mean if they're carrying a white stick with a red ring painted on it?

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.

They have poor vision and hearingThis was the right answer

A person carrying a white stick or a long white cane may be visually impaired. If the stick has a red ring or red-and-white checks painted on it, they also have impaired hearing. Be prepared to help if they appear to need it, or if they ask for assistance.
