Does the behaviour of the pedestrian require you to use the horn?

Correct answer: NO

🔍 Situation analysis: You are approaching a roundabout with a designated pedestrian crossing. You see a pedestrian who is already on the crossing, continuing to cross the road in a predictable and calm manner.

📖 Explanation of the rule: The use of an audible warning signal in a built-up area is permitted only when it is necessary to avoid immediate danger. A pedestrian using a crosswalk is exercising their right of way. Honking in this situation does not improve safety; on the contrary, it may startle the pedestrian, leading them to move abruptly or panic, which could create a hazard. Your duty is to yield to pedestrians on the crossing, not to "urge" them on with sound signals.

💡 Tip: During the state exam, remember that driving culture and predictability are key to a positive assessment. Using the horn without real danger will be considered an error, as it indicates a lack of composure and a poor understanding of the purpose of warning signals.
