Must the driver pay special attention to pedestrians?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is essential. Pedestrians are part of the most vulnerable group of road users (along with cyclists and motorcyclists). The main reason is physical: in the event of an accident, pedestrians lack protective bodywork ('soft chassis') and their own bodies absorb the energy of the impact, leading to a high risk of serious injury or death. The other options are incorrect because pedestrians can present a danger if they enter the roadway unexpectedly, and caution must be maintained on both urban and interurban roads, not just in the city.
