How must you behave?

You selected the correct answers. In this situation, a ball is on the street, which means a child could run after it at any moment. According to German traffic rules, you must slow down to walking pace immediately and remain ready to brake. This maximizes your reaction time and reduces the risk of an accident. Passing by at the same speed is never allowed in such a scenario because of the high risk of a child suddenly appearing. Remember: whenever you see toys or balls on the road, always expect children and be prepared to stop quickly.
