When must a driver yield to a pedestrian?

  1. When the pedestrian is standing on the curb

  2. When passing a car stopped at a pedestrian crossing

  3. Whenever a pedestrian is in the crosswalk

  4. When necessary to avoid a collision

The correct answer is: Whenever a pedestrian is in the crosswalk

Drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks because it is the safest option for both parties. While the other options may also require a driver to yield, they do not cover all scenarios where a pedestrian may need to cross the street. For example, a pedestrian may be walking on the side of the road or may be about to enter a crosswalk without being in it yet. In these cases, the driver must still yield to ensure the safety of the pedestrian. Additionally, yielding to a pedestrian in a crosswalk follows traffic laws and promotes safe and respectful driving practices.
