As you approach a pelican crossing, the lights change to green. What should you do if elderly people are halfway across?

A: Wave them to cross as quickly as they can

B: Rev your engine to make them hurry

C: Flash your lights in case they haven't noticed you

D: Wait patiently because they'll probably take longer to cross

If the lights turn to green, wait for any pedestrians to clear the crossing. Allow them to finish crossing the road in their own time, and don’t try to hurry them by revving your engine.
