Do you have to exercise particular caution when passing a stationary object in this situation?

Correct answer: YES

🔍 Situation analysis: You are approaching a vehicle that has stopped in the right lane. There are people near the vehicle, including a person in a wheelchair, making this a situation that requires increased attention and anticipation of everyone's behavior at the scene.

📖 Explanation of the principle: Due diligence means increasing your attention and adjusting your speed to road conditions so that you can react to any change in the situation at any time. When passing a vehicle where pedestrians are present, including people with limited mobility, you are required to maintain a safe distance and speed that guarantees safety. Regulations always impose this requirement when the presence of other road users on the road may create a hazard or requires you to perform a passing maneuver.

💡 Tip: Whenever you see a vehicle with its hazard lights on or people standing directly near the road, take your foot off the accelerator and prepare to brake. It is better to slow down a few kilometers too early than to be surprised by the sudden movement of a pedestrian.
