When you see a pedestrian in a crosswalk, what should you do?

  1. Sound your horn

  2. Slow down and proceed with caution

  3. Stop and wait for them to pass

  4. Drive around them

The correct answer is: Stop and wait for them to pass

It is important to always prioritize the safety of pedestrians when operating a vehicle. Option A is incorrect because honking your horn can startle the pedestrian and cause them to potentially make a dangerous move. Option D is also incorrect because it is illegal and dangerous to drive around a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Option B is a better option than A and D, but it is still incorrect because it suggests proceeding with caution instead of coming to a complete stop for the pedestrian to safely cross. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it ensures the safety and right of way for the pedestrian.
