Question: In British Columbia, a pedestrian crossing with a white cane or guide dog:

Answer options:

• Should be passed quickly ✅ Has full right-of-way — drivers must stop
• Can be honked at
• Is not protected

Correct answer: Has full right-of-way — drivers must stop

Explanation: Under British Columbia traffic laws, pedestrians using a white cane or guide dog are visually impaired and always have the absolute right-of-way. Drivers must stop completely and remain stationary until the pedestrian has safely finished crossing. Passing quickly or honking is highly dangerous, as sudden noises and movements can startle the pedestrian or their guide dog and cause a collision. Believing they are not protected contradicts basic traffic safety regulations. ICBC knowledge tests frequently include questions about vulnerable road users to reinforce that yielding to those with disabilities is a paramount legal responsibility.
