You should also stop. If you overtake, you risk running down the pedestrian or causing an accident.

You should scan ahead as far as possible. Do not fixate on the vehicle in front of you. Look down the road and expect the worse. If there is a car at an intersection expect it to pull out in front of you. If there is an oncoming car expect it to come into your lane and be prepared to take evasive action.
