You are driving at walking pace through a street in Leeuwarden with a primary school and a playground. Between two parked cars you see no child, but you do hear voices and laughter. What is the correct assessment?
- A child behaves just as predictably as an adult crossing the road
- With no child visible, nothing is wrong, you can simply drive on
- ✓ A child may step out from between the cars onto the road without warning, without looking
Correct answer: A child may step out from between the cars onto the road without warning, without looking
Explanation
False
Why learners get this wrong
