About Vulnerable pedestrians: children, older people, and priority at the crossing: which statement is WRONG?
In a collision with a pedestrian or cyclist, the driver is always liable, without exception.
The priority applies with exceptions: military column, funeral procession and red pedestrian light or amber flashing light.
Children get so absorbed in play that they do not look out and may step onto the road without warning, especially near schools, playgrounds and between parked cars.
This group often has limited perception and reaction ability, notices you late, and needs more time for actions like crossing.
Explanation
trap: hedge dropped. VekaBest p.127 - the text says 'in principle always liable', not 'always, full stop'. The hedge 'in principle' is part of the legal meaning (room remains for the concrete circumstances)
