What action should you take when approaching a pedestrian with a white cane?

Accelerate through the intersection
Slow down or stop to allow them to cross
Honk to alert them
Keep a steady speed

The correct answer is: Slow down or stop to allow them to cross

When approaching a pedestrian with a white cane, it is important to slow down or stop to allow them to cross the road safely. The white cane is a universally recognized symbol indicating that the person is visually impaired or blind. This means they may not be fully aware of their surroundings, including moving vehicles or other hazards. By reducing your speed or stopping, you provide the pedestrian the time and space to navigate themselves safely. This action not only demonstrates care and respect for their well-being but is also a legal requirement in many jurisdictions, reflecting the importance of promoting safe interactions between drivers and pedestrians who may have mobility challenges.
