Many Oregon questions in this category are about anticipating the limits and needs of other road users. The safest answer usually gives more time, more space, and more predictability to the person or vehicle with less room for error.
Study points
- Pedestrians and people using crosswalks get the strongest protection. Slow early and do not pass a vehicle stopped for a crosswalk.
- Bicycles and motorcycles can be hard to judge in size and speed. Leave room and check carefully before turning or opening a door.
- Large trucks need space to turn and longer distance to stop. Avoid staying in blind spots and do not cut back in too soon.
- School buses and emergency vehicles bring special rules that require immediate attention, not just courtesy.
- When in doubt, choose the answer that increases visibility and reduces surprise for the other road user.
