A pedestrian with a white cane raises the cane at the curb. What should you do?

  1. Sound your horn to warn the person
  2. Drive past slowly
  3. Rev your engine so the person hears you
  4. Stop and give the person the right-of-way
Show answer

Correct answer: Stop and give the person the right-of-way

The raised cane means the person is not sure it is safe. Do not honk or rev the engine.
