Accidents often involve failure to yield to the right-of-way by which parties present?

• A. Drivers
• B. Pedestrians
• C. Bikers
• D. Drivers, Pedestrians

Answer: (D)

Right-of-way rules are about who must wait for others to go first. Accidents often happen when the people who are present forget to yield: drivers who fail to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks or at intersections, and pedestrians who step into traffic or ignore signals. Because both drivers and pedestrians frequently share street spaces, these two groups are the common sources of yielding failures. Bikers can be involved too, but the situations most often described involve drivers and pedestrians, which is why that option fits best.
