9. Under Montana law, when must a motorist yield to a person riding a bicycle?

10. What does Montana's driver manual say right-of-way law actually does?
Correct answer: It says who must yield, but gives no one the right-of-way
The law spells out who must yield; it doesn't hand the right-of-way to anyone. Drivers must still do all they can to avoid striking a pedestrian or vehicle, whatever the situation.

11. Why shouldn't you honk at a pedestrian who is carrying a white cane or using a guide dog?
Correct answer: It could confuse or frighten them
These pedestrians have absolute right-of-way, and the horn could confuse or frighten them.

12. An oncoming vehicle turns left across your path as you approach an intersection. What does the manual say you should be ready to do?
Correct answer: Brake hard and hold your position
Get ready to brake hard while holding your lane position, especially with other traffic around you. Don't change speed or position radically, or drivers may think you're turning.
