When there are pedestrians on the part of the road we are using, we must slow down, even coming to a complete stop, to prevent accidents. Pedestrians are vulnerable road users who suffer serious harm if they are hit, so we must drive very carefully when they are around, especially if they are children, so that this never happens.
