Question 1284 in the bank

When driving near a group of children, the driver is required to:

  1. Correct answer: Slow down and, if needed, stop the vehicle.
  2. Make a complete stop for as long as the children are close to the roadway.
  3. Continue driving in normal speed, provided that he uses the horn to warn them.
  4. Continue driving in normal speed, if the group of children is accompanied by a teacher or a guide.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down and, if needed, stop the vehicle.

Children may suddenly run into the road and cannot judge a vehicle's speed and distance well. So the driver must slow down and be ready to stop when necessary. A teacher or guide does not remove the danger, and honking may startle the children. A complete stop is not always required, only when the situation calls for it.
