What risks must you be aware of?

Your answer is correct because children on the road can be unpredictable. According to German traffic rules, you must be aware that:

1. Children might not get off the road in time — they may be unaware of traffic dangers or may be focused on their play.
2. Some children might suddenly turn around or run back onto the road unexpectedly, especially if they are chasing a ball or playing.

It is important to always slow down and be prepared to stop quickly in such situations, as children's behavior is often erratic and cannot be predicted like adults'. The third option, that all children will wait on the pavement, is incorrect because children do not always behave orderly and may suddenly enter or re-enter the road.

So, stay alert and drive cautiously when children are near or on the road. This approach helps prevent accidents and ensures everyone's safety.
