When driving on public roads, who must the driver protect through their behavior?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Driving is a social activity involving shared risks and is governed by the principle of doing no harm. The driver has a legal and moral obligation to drive with the necessary diligence and caution to avoid any accident. This means protection is comprehensive: they must look out for their own safety, that of the occupants traveling in their vehicle (who rely on their skill), and that of all other road users (other drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, animals, etc.). Answers limiting protection 'only' to pedestrians or 'solely' to passengers are incorrect because they exclude other participants in the road environment.
