If you continue driving after being forced to stop by a pedestrian who crossed the road at unauthorized location, are you in such a situation merging into traffic?

Explanation

Correct answer: No

Joining traffic takes place after stopping or parking that is not a consequence of traffic conditions or road regulations. Stopping a vehicle to avoid a collision with a pedestrian, even if they are crossing the carriageway incorrectly, is a stop resulting from road conditions. Moving off again in such a situation is a continuation of traffic, not the act of joining it.
