Are you allowed to continue driving without any reaction to the behaviour of the pedestrian?

Description

§ 1 pt. 1a and 1d of annex no. 1 to the Regulation of the Minister of Transport, Construction and Maritime Economy on the training of persons applying for driving entitlements, instructors and lecturers (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1019) in connection with art. 4 of the Act of 20.06.1997 "Road Traffic Act" (consolidated text, Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137 as amended).
Explanation

Correct answer: No

You cannot continue driving without any reaction because the pedestrian is moving on the roadway, not on the pavement, which is unpredictable behaviour. In accordance with the principle of limited trust (Art. 4 of the Road Traffic Act), the driver must react to the pedestrian's unusual behaviour by slowing down and maintaining a safe, lateral distance.
