In this situation, are you obliged to heighten your attention to the extent that permits you to react quickly enough?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we are driving a tram towards a pedestrian crossing marked with sign D-6 with plate T-27, which indicates a crossing used particularly often by children; next to the crossing a man in a yellow high-visibility jacket is standing. In this situation you are required to increase your attention to a degree that allows a sufficiently quick reaction - the answer is YES.
When approaching a crossing, a tram driver must exercise particular caution, that is increase attention and adapt behaviour to the situation to a degree that allows a sufficiently quick reaction. Children may run onto the crossing unexpectedly. So you slow down and watch the pavements on both sides. You also watch the man standing next to the crossing, because he may step onto it.
