Section: 第３節 横断の仕方
Type: Multiple choice
Difficulty: hard

## Question
When attempting to cross at a location without a traffic light, which of the following is correct about vehicles approaching from the left?

## Options
A. They are less dangerous than vehicles coming from the right
B. Even if they appear far away, they will come closer while you are crossing, so caution is necessary
C. They will move away during crossing, so special caution is not needed
D. Caution is only necessary if they are stopped

## Correct answer
B. Even if they appear far away, they will come closer while you are crossing, so caution is necessary

## Explanation
The Rules of the Road, Chapter 2, Section 3, "3 (2)" states: "In particular, vehicles approaching from the left may appear to be far away, but they will come closer while you are crossing, so be careful." Vehicles from the left are dangerous due to distance perception illusions, so option 2 is correct.
