Question 311 · Car theory test
When driving on a country road without footpaths, what should a driver expect coming towards them on their side of the road?
Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
Pedestrians.
Official explanation
Where there is no footpath, pedestrians are required to walk on the side of the oncoming traffic, and drivers should be aware of this. Pedestrians are vulnerable road users, so drivers should always be aware of their presence, especially on country roads.
