At the Multimate in Fijnaart you want to turn right into the inrit to the car park. A car is driving close behind you and a pedestrian on the pavement wants to walk past the inrit. What do you do?
- ✓ You signal earlier than usual and let the pedestrian go first
- You signal as for any turn and let the pedestrian go first
- You signal earlier than usual and drive in ahead of the pedestrian
Correct answer: You signal earlier than usual and let the pedestrian go first
Explanation
False — you do not see the pedestrian as a road user who goes first. Whoever drives into an inrit lets all road users go first, including pedestrians on the pavement
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: you signal at the usual moment. Turning right into an inrit you signal earlier than for an ordinary turn, because the driver behind you does not expect an inrit
- Wrong: you do not see the pedestrian as a road user who goes first. Whoever drives into an inrit lets all road users go first, including pedestrians on the pavement
