Show the correct answer

Correct answer

NO

Explanation

In the video you are driving at dusk along a housing estate street; on the right, on the pavement, in a parking space marked with lines under sign D-18, there is a correctly parked passenger car, and further on a dog appears at the edge of the roadway. The vehicle parked on the pavement is not a hazard in itself. The answer is: no.

The Road Traffic Act allows parking a whole passenger car on the pavement at the edge of the roadway if there is no ban on stopping or parking on that section, the pavement is at least 1.5 m wide and pedestrians still have room to pass; here, in addition, sign D-18 and the lines directly mark this place. The car in the video is standing in a marked space, parallel to the roadway, it does not stick out into your lane, pedestrians are walking along the pavement next to it, and no one is opening a door on the roadway side - it is simply part of the surroundings, which you pass with a safe gap. A hazard is a situation in which something may change your path or force you to brake; here such an element is more likely the dog at the edge of the roadway, not the parked car. A parked car only needs your attention when something is happening around it: lights on, an open door, a person.
