What type of people must you yield to?

  1. Police

  2. Other drivers

  3. Elders

  4. Pedestrians

The correct answer is: Pedestrians

You must yield to pedestrians because they are considered the most vulnerable of those listed. Police have a right to move through traffic but are not automatically given preference over other drivers. In a situation where there is conflicting traffic, drivers must always yield to pedestrians who are lawfully crossing the street. This is because pedestrians have no protection from vehicles and are therefore at a greater risk of injury. While it is important to show respect and consideration to elders, they do not have the right of way in traffic situations. Other drivers should also be yielded to in certain situations, such as when merging onto a highway or when following traffic signals and signs. However, in terms of yielding to different types of people, pedestrians should always be given the highest priority.
