Answer: D. The vehicle ahead is stopped for a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
Foreign cars are strictly prohibited to follow the car which is for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. This situation is at the top of the scale that requires very attentive and respect as to pedestrians’ safety.
Those who are walking in designated crossways or crosswalks have the right-of-way and thus, drivers are legally bound to give way. Passing a vehicle at a place where a pedestrian has stopped to let a pedestrian pass will be illegally dangerous besides for the pedestrian as he may be struck by an oncoming vehicle.
Under these conditions, it is crucial to take your time, be stopped and wait until the pedestrian has safely crossed the road before proceeding to drive ahead. The traffic law states that an overtaking is allowed only if the lane is wide enough. In this case, two lanes are not wide enough for me to pass your car, violating traffic rules, thereby attracting severe penalties, including fines or even the suspension of a license.
