  4. D

Cevap

Slow down significantly and be prepared to stop if children suddenly emerge into the road.
Ice cream vans attract children who may be excited, distracted, and unaware of oncoming traffic. Drivers should reduce speed considerably, look out for children stepping out from behind or in front of the vehicle, and be ready to stop immediately if needed.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the hazard created by the parked ice cream van.
Recognise that children are likely to be gathered nearby, often excited and distracted.
Young children have difficulty judging traffic speed and distance and may cross impulsively.
2
Adjust your driving speed and prepare your vehicle controls.
Reduce vehicle speed significantly, keep a wide clearance if possible, and cover the brake pedal.
Lower speed dramatically decreases stopping distance and reduces the risk and severity of a collision.
