Question 914 in the bank

How are you required to conduct yourself according to the occurrence depicted in the picture?

View through a windshield of a town street with trees and buildings; a black-and-white ball lies on the road ahead.
  1. Honk loudly to warn that you are approaching.
  2. Correct answer: Slow down carefully and stop if needed, because a child might be chasing the ball.
  3. Continue driving and make short and rhythmic honks.
  4. Accelerate and pass quickly before any child gets to the roadway.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down carefully and stop if needed, because a child might be chasing the ball.

A ball rolling into the road is an early warning that a child may dash out after it without looking. Slow down right away, stay alert and be ready to stop. Honking does not guarantee a child will hear or react, and speeding up to get past first greatly increases the risk of hitting someone.
