How would you conduct yourself on the following road section?
- Stop before the container in case pedestrians are crossing from its other side.
- Drive faster to avoid a possibility of pedestrians crossing after the container.
- Slow down and honk a few times before passing the line of the container.
- Correct answer: The close garbage container obstructs your field of vision; hence you have to slow down.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The close garbage container obstructs your field of vision; hence you have to slow down.
The garbage containers on the right hide what is behind them, so a pedestrian, especially a child, may suddenly step out from behind them into the road. When the field of vision is limited, slow down and be ready to stop, so that you have time and distance to react. Speeding up shortens the time and distance available to you, and honking does not ensure that the pedestrian will hear and stop.
