Question 906 in the bank

How would you conduct yourself in the following situation?

View through a windshield: a child on roller skates and two children with schoolbags crossing the road ahead, with buildings and trees behind.
  1. Honk and bypass the children as if you are overtaking a parked vehicle.
  2. Slightly swerve to the right and bypass the children quickly.
  3. Correct answer: Glance at the mirrors, slow down and stop if required..
  4. Don’t disturb the children, you are driving in a play street.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Glance at the mirrors, slow down and stop if required..

Children, especially children on roller skates, may change direction suddenly and dash into the road. So glance at the mirrors to know what is happening behind you, slow down and be ready to stop. Honking, or passing at normal speed, may frighten the children and cause an accident.
