Describe the following situation:
- Children playing on the roadway. I shall honk to warn them and pass them from their left.
- Children playing on the roadway. In order not to disturb them, I shall pass them from their right.
- Correct answer: Children playing on the road. I will take every necessary precaution so as not to endanger them.
- I noticed children playing. I shall honk so that they clear the roadway and don’t disturb me.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Children playing on the road. I will take every necessary precaution so as not to endanger them.
Children can move suddenly and unpredictably, so the driver must do whatever is needed to avoid hurting them, such as slowing down, keeping a wide gap or stopping completely. Honking does not solve the problem and may startle them into running toward the vehicle. Passing them quickly on either side is dangerous, even though they should not be playing on the road.
