  2. Reduce your speed and scan between parked vehicles for signs of movementCevap
  3. C
    Fixate your attention solely on the vehicle ahead to maintain road position
  4. D
    Assume parked cars block pedestrians from crossing and maintain maximum road speed

Cevap

Reduce your speed and scan between parked vehicles for signs of movement.
In residential areas with parked cars, visibility is severely restricted. Driving at a reduced speed and actively scanning between and beneath vehicles allows you to spot moving shadows, feet, or bouncing balls early, giving you sufficient time and distance to stop safely if someone steps out.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the high-risk environmental factors present in residential streets.
Recognise that parked vehicles severely restrict visibility of vulnerable pedestrians such as children.
Children and other pedestrians may step out into the road without checking or being visible until the last second.
2
Select the appropriate driving response to mitigate the hazard.
Lower vehicle speed and actively scan beneath and between parked vehicles for early visual cues such as feet, shadows, or bouncing balls.
Lower speeds significantly reduce stopping distance and increase available reaction time.
