In a residential street in Emmen a pedestrian with his eyes on his phone is walking across the pavement toward the edge of the carriageway. There is no crossing. What do you do?
You keep your speed and only brake once he actually puts a foot on the road
You count on him not seeing you, slow down and are ready to brake
You drive on, because he will surely look up before he steps onto the road
Explanation
False — then you are too late. A pedestrian who takes part in traffic without thinking often does not follow the rules and can suddenly walk onto the road; adjust your speed before he reaches the carriageway (Book p.127).
