True or false?
A driver must stop and give way to a blind pedestrian with a white cane who is about to cross outside a pedestrian crossing.
Italian text
Il conducente deve fermarsi e dare la precedenza al pedone non vedente con il bastone bianco che si accinge ad attraversare la strada fuori dalle strisce pedonali
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: TRUE
The blind pedestrian with a white stick must also be facilitated outside the stripes: stop and let it cross without putting him in a hurry. It can orient itself with difficulty and does not necessarily have to have a guide dog. Accelerating, passing by him or playing to solicit him increases the risk.
