Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations require you to slow down and even stop the vehicle when circumstances demand it. This precaution is essential when the presence of vulnerable road users such as children is foreseeable, since they can burst unexpectedly onto the roadway, like those running after a ball. Moving to the left without slowing down does not remove the danger of running someone over. Sounding the horn repeatedly is not the solution: the sound signal device is only used to avoid an accident or in the permitted cases, and its unjustified or excessive use is prohibited (General Traffic Regulations, Article 110); moreover, it can frighten or disorient the children.
