Visual explanation · Parking correction

Pause the correction for the person

Question recap: A pedestrian enters the area behind your car during a parking correction.

Correct answer

Stay stopped until they clear, then check before correcting.

Why this is correct

The bay angle is secondary while someone is behind the car. A special manoeuvre requires you to let other road users pass.

After they clear, look around again and make a controlled correction if space permits. A correction can be part of completing the manoeuvre safely.
