The problem blinded Australians, and most people couldn't figure out who left first.
Most Australians may think they are driving at a high level, but a complicated problem proves that we may not be as good as we think we are.
The new state road security agency released a road safety test on Facebook with three cars, a bicycle and a pedestrian.
Each of the characters in the picture stopped at a crossroads, and the respondents were asked to answer the order in which they crossed the crossroads.
The topic is straightforward, but hundreds of messengers are blinded.
To witness with one's own eyes:
In the figure:
- Car A wait at "Stop", ready to turn right.
- Car B is on the right hand side of car A, ready to turn around.
- Car C is opposite car A, also waiting for "Stop", ready to turn left.
- E is a cyclist, he has no "Stop" in front of him, ready to go straight.
- D is a pedestrian who stops in the direction of all the vehicles and prepares to cross the road.
This topic involves a number of factors to be considered, requiring a deep understanding of Australian road rules.
The post triggered more than 460 messages, and only a small percentage answered correctly.
It is suggested that D walk first because "pedestrians always have priority" and others think that pedestrians should be the last to cross the road.
Some people think that the last move should be the C car, others think that the C should be second only to the bike.
Someone said: "get rid of, new state law says turn-around car must give way to all other."
Someone joked, "just close your eyes and God bless you."
And then there's this: "A, B and C will collide, E will call the police, D will be live broadcast. On Facebook."
Correct answer: EDCAB
Bike E has the highest priority because he is straight across the road without any "Stop" or signage, which means he does not have to give way to any vehicle or pedestrian.
Pedestrian D came in second, because he needed to give way to a direct drive coming in his direction on the road.
Car C has to give way to pedestrians because the driver has to give way to anyone who crosses the road when turning, and any vehicle that enters or is about to reach the intersection in the middle of the intersection, such as the bicycle E.
Car A is the latter car, after giving the car to a vehicle in the road, entering or about to enter the intersection, except for a right-turn or turn-around car.
The last one is car B, because the turnaround car must have a clear view of all arriving vehicles on the road and give way to all vehicles and pedestrians.
Bernard Carlon, head of the Road Safety Center, urged drivers to keep pace with existing traffic regulations.
"the new state transportation department regularly publishes topics or videos online to encourage people to participate and remind them to remember the traffic rules."
"every road user needs to know and be able to use traffic rules in any road scene."
