About Giving priority versus letting go first: two terms, not synonyms: which statement is WRONG?
- ✓ The duty to let people with a white cane go first only applies at a zebra crossing, not elsewhere.
- A driveway is precisely a special manoeuvre with its own duty.
- 'letting go first' belongs to your own special manoeuvres and to the duty toward blind/mobility-impaired people, anywhere in traffic — not tied to a junction. 'Giving priority' is precisely the junction term.
- 'Giving priority' and 'letting go first' are two separately defined terms. 'Giving priority' belongs to crossing traffic; 'letting go first' belongs to your own special manoeuvre such as driving off or merging, and to a separate duty toward blind and mobility-impaired people.
Correct answer: The duty to let people with a white cane go first only applies at a zebra crossing, not elsewhere.
Explanation
'You must always let these people go first in traffic: people with a white cane, people who have difficulty moving around.' The word 'always' makes this a general duty in traffic, not limited to the zebra crossing
