The driver of a vehicle approaching a blind pedestrian who knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that such pedestrian is blind because such pedestrian is carrying a cane predominantly white or metallic in color with or without a red tip, or is using a guide dog or otherwise, shall exercise care commensurate with the situation to avoid injuring such pedestrian.
