You are driving in the left-hand lane of a two-lane one-way street. About 30 m in front of you, a truck comes to a stop in the right-hand lane before a pedestrian crossing. What should you do?

In this situation, when you see a truck stopped before a pedestrian crossing in the right lane, you should approach at a moderate speed. This is because pedestrians may be crossing or about to cross the street, and the stopped truck may be blocking your view of them. By slowing down, you increase your reaction time and can stop safely if pedestrians appear. Giving a warning signal or driving swiftly past the truck is unsafe and not allowed according to German traffic rules, as it could endanger pedestrians. Always be cautious near pedestrian crossings, especially when other vehicles are stopped nearby.
