What risks must you be aware of?

Your answer is correct because both risks you selected are important to consider in this situation.

When children are playing on or near the road, they might not leave the road quickly enough (risk 1). Children can sometimes be impulsive or distracted, so they might not be aware of the approaching vehicle and may take longer to move to safety.

Additionally, some children may turn back onto the road unexpectedly (risk 2). This means a child who initially left the road might suddenly run back into the street, increasing the danger.

The third option, that all children will wait on the pavement, is incorrect because you cannot assume children will always behave predictably or follow safety rules. Therefore, in German traffic rules, you must always proceed with caution and be prepared for sudden movements.

In summary, when children are near or on the road, expect unpredictable behavior and slow reactions, and adjust your driving accordingly by slowing down and being ready to stop.
