Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video we are riding a moped along a street in a town; in front of us an adult is walking along the pavement in the same direction, holding a child by the arm. In this situation you are not obliged to apply the principle of limited trust - the answer is NO.
The Road Traffic Act allows you to assume that other road users follow the rules, unless the circumstances show that they may behave differently. So you apply the principle of limited trust when something points to a risk: a child is running alone near the edge, a pedestrian is staggering, or someone is stepping onto the roadway while looking at a phone. Here the child is walking calmly along the pavement in the care of an adult who is keeping the child close - nothing suggests that they will step onto the roadway. However, you still watch the pavement and are ready to react, because ordinary caution always applies.
