Ch. 5 · 第３節 歩行者の保護など
Elderly pedestrians are prone to accidents when crossing directly in front of or behind a vehicle, so drivers must pay special attention to elderly people walking immediately in front of or behind a stopped vehicle.
[True / False · Medium]
Answer: True
Explanation
The Rules of the Road caution that accidents involving elderly pedestrians often occur when crossing directly in front of or directly behind a vehicle. The area immediately in front of and behind a stopped vehicle is a blind spot for both the driver and oncoming or following vehicles, and extra deceleration and confirmation are necessary for elderly pedestrians in particular.
