Cevap

Reduce your speed, be prepared to stop, and watch for children stepping out from behind the van
When passing stationary ice cream vans or school buses, drivers must anticipate that children may be distracted and run out into the road without looking. Slowing down, scanning carefully, and being prepared to stop is the safest course of action under the Highway Code.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the hazard
Recognise that an ice cream van attracts children who may act unpredictably.
Children often focus on buying ice cream and may run across the road without looking for traffic.
2
Adjust driving behaviour
Slow down significantly, keep a sharp lookout around the vehicle, and be ready to brake smoothly if a child steps into the carriageway.
Lower speed shortens stopping distance and gives more time to react safely.
