Should you take into consideration the probability of the pedestrian bursting onto the road in this situation?

Should you take into consideration the probability of the pedestrian bursting onto the road in this situation?

Description

Art. 4 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, in this situation, the principle of limited trust should be applied. A narrow street, wet road surface, and pedestrians walking right at the edge of the carriageway increase the risk of them suddenly stepping onto the road, for example, to avoid a puddle. According to Art. 4 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver is obliged to anticipate the unusual behaviour of other road users and to exercise special caution.
