Explanation
Drivers must always yield the right-of-way to pedestrians using a guide dog or carrying a white cane. These pedestrians are either partially or totally blind, and rely on their cane or guide dog to travel safely. As a driver, it is your responsibility to be especially careful when turning corners or backing up, particularly if you are driving a quiet electric or hybrid vehicle.
