Correct answer
- BReducir la velocidad, incluso detenernos, para no poner en peligro al peatón.Slow down, and even stop, so as not to put the pedestrian in danger.
Away from a pedestrian crossing, the pedestrian must make sure they can cross without risk (Article 124.2 of the General Traffic Regulations), but the driver must drive at a moderate speed and stop if necessary when there are pedestrians on the carriageway (Article 46.1.a). Sounding the horn to make them move aside is not justified.
