Is it reasonable to use the horn repeatedly instead of stopping the vehicle?

Description

Art. 29 para. 1 in conjunction with art. 26 para. 7 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2005, No. 108, item 908, as amended).
Explanation

Correct answer: No

According to Art. 26 para. 7 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver has an absolute duty to stop the vehicle to allow a disabled person to cross the roadway. The person with a white cane visible in the video is a blind person, and using a horn could disorient them and create a hazard. Your only duty is to stop and wait patiently.
