Everything said in the video, to read back.

When do you let a pedestrian go first? Officially: straight on, on the same road, goes before turning. But who's going straight on here? Remember: face and back, hold back. See their side, go for a ride! Drag the pedestrian in front of the car. Their face: hold back.

Pedestrian first. And here? Their back: hold back too. Pedestrian first again. Left to right? See their side, go for a ride. The learner car goes first. Right to left? Their side again: go for a ride. Learner car first. Give-way markings? Only for drivers.

A stop sign too. You do stop, but the learner car still goes first. But she's coming from the right? No! Give way to the right only applies to drivers at an equal-priority junction. For your exam: anyone with difficulty walking, always let them go first.

Leaving a driveway exit? Pedestrians first. Same at a pedestrian crossing. Check every situation in the Theorio app!
