Correct answer
- CNo respetar la prioridad en los pasos para peatones.Not respecting pedestrians' right of way at pedestrian crossings.
The correct option is not respecting pedestrians' right of way at pedestrian crossings, because the rules clearly state that drivers must give way to pedestrians at properly marked crossings. This offence is especially dangerous because pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users and their safety must come first. Under Article 65 of the General Traffic Regulations, pedestrians have right of way at pedestrian crossings, which makes this offence one of the most serious in terms of the risk to their physical safety.
