Pedestrians — New Hampshire Permit Test
Pedestrians on the New Hampshire permit test — 3 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
Vehicle and pedestrian collisions account for nearly 20 percent of all traffic deaths each year.
One road death in five is somebody who was on foot, which is why so much of this section is about them.
collisions account for nearly 20 percent of all traffic deaths each year.
Drivers must use extreme care to avoid colliding with a pedestrian, especially in areas such as school zones, bus stops, playgrounds and parks.
These are the places where people on foot outnumber cars, and where a child can step out from between parked vehicles.

Pedestrians are difficult to see and it is difficult to determine their intentions, so drivers should be prepared to yield to pedestrians at all times.
A person on foot can change direction in a step, which no vehicle on the road can do.
Drivers should be prepared to yield to pedestrians at all times.
On the test
About what share of traffic deaths are vehicle-pedestrian collisions?
20 percent. One road death in five is somebody who was on foot, which is why so much of this section is about them. New Hampshire Driver's Manual, p.36: “collisions account for nearly 20 percent of all traffic deaths each year.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
