South Australia · Learner's Theory Test · Give way

You are driving out of a driveway or car park and must cross a footpath to reach the road. Who must you give way to?

The answer

  • No one, because you are entering from private property
  • Only pedestrians walking on your side of the footpath
  • Pedestrians and cyclists on the footpath, and traffic on the road Correct
  • Only vehicles on the road, not people on the footpath

Why that's the answer

A driver entering a road from private property, a driveway or a car park must give way to anyone on the footpath, including pedestrians and cyclists, as well as to traffic on the road.
