Cevap

True
Under Highway Code guidelines, drivers must exercise heightened care and reduce speed in areas where children are likely to be present, particularly near ice cream vans where children often dart into the carriageway unexpectedly.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the specific road hazard presented by a parked ice cream van.
Recognise that ice cream vans attract children whose attention is heavily diverted away from surrounding traffic.
Vulnerable road users, especially children, have limited hazard perception and may act unpredictably.
2
Apply appropriate driving precautions according to the Highway Code.
Lower vehicle speed, scan obscured blind spots around the van, and cover the brake pedal to prepare for immediate stopping.
Maintaining a lower speed and anticipating hidden pedestrians minimises stopping distance in the event of a sudden hazard.
