Question

A driver is guilty of a misdemeanor if they fail to yield the right-of-way or take all reasonably necessary precautions to avoid injury of a blind pedestrian. This is punishable by:________
A) Imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding six months, or by a fine of not less than five hundred dollars ($500) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000)
B) Or both Imprisonment in the county jail for one year
C) A fine of two hundred dollars ($200)
D) None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is letter A.

Explanation:

Under the Pedestrians' Rights and Duties of the Law, a person who is totally or partially blind shall have the right-of-way when it comes to driving situations. The person who is blind will be seen carrying a completely white cane or a white cane with red tip (as I've explained below). Once the driver sees this person, he has to let the person have the way under whatever circumstance. If he failed to follow this rule and injures the pedestrian, he'll have to face some consequences. These are a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $1,000, or both. He will also be put in prison of not more than 6 months duration.

Thus, the answer is letter A.

Additional Information

Right-of-way- this refers to the legal right of pedestrian, vehicle or ship and their right is prioritized over others in a specific situation.

Completely white cane- If you see a person carrying a completely white cane, this entails that the person is blind or visually impaired.

White cane with red tip- A person carrying a white cane with red tip means he's both deaf and blind. He has both sight and hearing impairments.
