USAREUR Practice Exam

What must a driver do when seeing a pedestrian wearing a yellow armband marked with three black dots?

1. Keep moving as the pedestrian is not a priority.

2. Slow down and stop if necessary to allow the pedestrian to cross.

3. Proceed if the pedestrian is accompanied by another person.

4. Turn the vehicle around to avoid the pedestrian.

The correct answer is: Slow down and stop if necessary to allow the pedestrian to cross.

A driver must slow down and stop if necessary when seeing a pedestrian wearing a yellow armband marked with three black dots because this armband indicates that the pedestrian is in a condition that requires special consideration. The presence of the yellow armband typically signals that the pedestrian may have a visual impairment or another condition making them particularly vulnerable while navigating roadways. It is essential for drivers to exercise caution and prioritize the safety of pedestrians in such situations, ensuring they have the opportunity to cross safely. Other options do not recognize the specific significance of the yellow armband and do not provide the necessary level of caution and attentiveness required when encountering a vulnerable pedestrian.
