Ch. 2 · Pedestrian Conduct

When getting out of a vehicle, have the child exit first, then the guardian exits afterward.

[True / False · Hard]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

The Rules of the Road, Chapter 2, Section 9, Paragraph 6 clearly states, "When exiting, the guardian should exit first." The rule specifies that when boarding, the child goes first; when exiting, the guardian goes first. This statement is incorrect.

Momoka

Kids first, right? That way they're safe on the sidewalk before the adult gets out.

Hikari

Nope, that's false. The guardian exits first so you can watch the child and the traffic before they step out.

Momoka

Ohhh, so getting in and getting out are different rules?

Hikari

Yep. Boarding: child first. Exiting: guardian first. Think of it as 'eyes on them when it matters most.'
