Question 916 in the bank

Which measures would you take in the following situation?

An urban street with a dashed white line, a white commercial vehicle ahead, cars parked on the right and a woman walking on the road from the right side.
  1. Correct answer: Slow down and stop if necessary.
  2. Slow down and honk, to make the pedestrian stop.
  3. There is no need to do anything special, because the pedestrian is far away from you.
  4. Drive faster and move to the left lane.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down and stop if necessary.

A pedestrian on the road in front of the vehicle is a hazard, even if they seem far away. So slow down, be ready to stop and let them clear the road. Honking may frighten them and cause unpredictable movement, and speeding up or passing increases the risk of hitting them.
