You see a pedestrian crossing the street in front of you. What should you do?

Slow down and proceed
Make sure they are clear before proceeding
Stop immediately
Alert them with your horn

The correct answer is: Make sure they are clear before proceeding

When you see a pedestrian crossing the street, you should always make sure they are clear before proceeding. This means that you should slow down and come to a complete stop if necessary, giving them enough time and space to cross safely. Option A suggests simply slowing down and proceeding, without ensuring the safety of the pedestrian. Option C suggests stopping immediately without considering if the pedestrian has already crossed or is still in the way. Option D may startle the pedestrian and cause them to panic or make a rash decision, potentially leading to an accident. Therefore, it is important to always choose option B and make sure the pedestrian is aware of your presence and has enough space to cross before proceeding.
