Children are playing near the kerb at the side of the road ahead. How should you adjust?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Slow down, be ready to stop and leave extra room
- Step 1: Children are unpredictable. Step 2. Reduce speed and give wide clearance. Answer: Slow down, be ready to stop and leave extra room. Why not the others: Sound your horn and speed up: a horn may startle a child into the road, and extra speed shortens your stopping room. Keep your speed because the children are on the pavement: children can run into the road without warning, so being on the pavement is no guarantee. Pass as close to the kerb as possible: passing close to the kerb puts the car nearer to the children.
