Queensland · PrepL Road Rules Test · Give way

In Queensland, what does 'give way' to a driver or pedestrian actually require you to do?

The answer

  • Sound your horn and proceed carefully
  • If they are stopped, remain stationary until it is safe; otherwise slow down and, if necessary, stop to avoid a collision Correct
  • Always come to a complete stop
  • Maintain your speed but move to the left

Why that's the answer

The handbook defines it precisely: if the driver or pedestrian is stopped you remain stationary until it is safe to proceed; in any other case you slow down and, if necessary, stop to avoid a collision. Giving way does not always mean stopping, but it always means being able to.
