Which of the following driver behaviors poses the greatest danger to pedestrian safety?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is not respecting priority at pedestrian crossings. Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users (fragile users) and lack protective bodywork. Pedestrian crossings are the areas with the highest interaction between vehicles and people; ignoring priority at these points causes the majority of serious accidents involving pedestrians in urban areas. Why the others are incorrect: Driving against traffic on a highway is a very serious offense, but the specific risk to pedestrians is lower because their presence is prohibited on these roads (except in emergencies). Not maintaining a safe following distance is dangerous, but its main consequence is a rear-end collision with the vehicle in front, not hitting pedestrians.
