Under South Carolina law, what must a driver do when encountering a blind pedestrian carrying an all-white cane or accompanied by a guide dog?
The answer
Answer: D. South Carolina's White Cane Law requires drivers to take special precautions and yield the right-of-way to blind pedestrians who are carrying a white cane or walking with a guide dog. Drivers must stop to avoid endangering the pedestrian. Blind pedestrians rely on vehicle engine noise to navigate, so never honk your horn or rev your engine while waiting for them to cross.
