Question: In Ontario, 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 Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act, pedestrians carrying a white cane or accompanied by a guide dog have the absolute right-of-way, requiring drivers to come to a complete stop. This rule protects visually impaired individuals who may not see oncoming vehicles. Passing quickly, honking, or failing to yield are illegal and dangerous actions that can startle the pedestrian or service animal. The G1 exam frequently tests right-of-way rules representing vulnerable road users, so candidates must remember that drivers must always stop to ensure these individuals cross safely.
