Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Signal their intention to overtake the pedestrians..
When you are driving on a road without footpaths; drivers should take extra care when they come upon pedestrians on the road. When they intend to move out and overtake; they should check the mirrors and signal to following traffic in good time to alert drivers behind that they are changing direction because of the hazard ahead.
