   Section 108(2) sets a fine of up to 100 currency points or imprisonment up to three years, or both, for causing bodily injury by reckless driving, a lower tier than the ten-year maximum for causing death under section 108(1).

3. Which of these is a duty of a driver toward a pedestrian?

   1. Ignore them if they are not on a crossing
   2. Take due care and consideration
   3. Wave them out of the way with the hand
   4. Speed past them, so as to clear the area
   Show the answer

   Answer: Take due care and consideration

   Sections 108(7)(g) and (i) and 119 require a driver to take due care and consideration for others, including pedestrians who are not on a crossing, so ignoring, waving away or speeding past them is wrong.
