What should you do if you encounter a pedestrian crossing the street?

Honk your horn
Speed up to pass quickly
Stop and wait for them to cross
Drive around them carefully

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

When encountering a pedestrian crossing the street, stopping and waiting for them to cross is the correct and safest action to take. This behavior is essential for ensuring the safety of pedestrians, who may have the right of way in many situations, especially in crosswalks or areas where pedestrian signage is present. By stopping, you demonstrate courtesy and compliance with traffic laws designed to protect vulnerable road users. This action also helps prevent potential accidents and promotes a safe environment for everyone on the road. It shows awareness of your surroundings and a commitment to responsible driving practices. The other actions, such as honking your horn, speeding up, or attempting to drive around the pedestrian, could create dangerous situations, potentially leading to accidents or injuries. These actions fail to prioritize the safety of the pedestrian and can undermine the rules governing pedestrian right of way.
