Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
This question is about going around a vehicle carrying an organised group of children, from which children are getting out. You are obliged to exercise particular caution - the answer is YES.
A vehicle carrying an organised group of children or young people aged up to 18 is marked with yellow boards with a symbol of children, and its driver switches on the hazard warning lights while they are getting in and out. The Road Traffic Act requires a driver going around such a vehicle to exercise particular caution while children are getting in or out and, if necessary, to stop. Children may run out from behind the vehicle onto the roadway or the tracks without looking. The tram driver reduces speed and is ready to stop the tram.
Legal basis: Art. 57 para. 1 and 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
