When you drive, take extra care around people walking and biking. It’s the human thing to do.  \nLook twice for people walking or biking before you make a turn. Always come to a complete stop before making a right turn on red.  \nStop for people in crosswalks. Every intersection is a crosswalk, even if it’sunmarked.  \nIf another car is stopped at a crosswalk, you should stop, too. There may be someone crossing that you can’t see.  \n© Copyright, Department of Motor Vehicles 2019 All rights reserved.  \nThis work is protected by U.S. Copyright Law.
