Are you obliged to exercise particular caution, in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we are driving a tram on tracks laid in the roadway, on which cars are also driving; ahead of us there is a junction with traffic lights, and cars are leaving the tracks and driving onto them. In this situation you are obliged to exercise particular caution - the answer is YES.
When the tracks run in the roadway, the tram shares the space with cars, which may pull in front of it, stop on the tracks or brake suddenly. Every road user must avoid actions that endanger safety, and in such conditions this requires particular caution, that is, increased attention and readiness to react quickly. A driver of a vehicle on the part of the roadway used by rail vehicles must make room for a tram, but does not always do so. That is why you keep a distance from the cars in front of you and are ready to brake - a tram needs a much longer distance to stop than a car.
