Ch. 2 · Pedestrian Conduct

Because remotely operated small vehicles follow the same rules as pedestrians, there is no need to yield even when obstructing pedestrian traffic.

[True / False · Medium]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

The Rules of the Road, Chapter 2, Section 11, 2(1) states: "The rules for traveling on a road by remotely operated small vehicle are, in principle, the same as those for pedestrians. However, when it would obstruct pedestrian traffic, you must yield to pedestrians." Therefore, this statement is incorrect.
