Passing target: 70% (28/40)
You drive along a residential street with cars parked at both curbs. Suddenly a ball rolls into the street from between two parked cars ahead of you. What should you do?
Blue A approaches a small ball that has rolled out through the gap between silver parked cars B and C on the near curb. Silver D and E occupy the opposite parking row. A labelled enlarged ball detail connects to the small ball in the roadway. No avoidance route is selected.
Correct answer: Slow down and be ready to stop, because a child may run out after the ball.
Why
Texas law requires drivers to use due care to avoid pedestrians and to take special care when they see a child on or near the roadway. Parked cars block your view of people near the curb, and children often step out without looking. A lower speed gives you the time and distance to stop.
