When leaving a garage across a pavement, with no sign or direction requiring a stop every time, what must you do regarding pedestrians?

Correct answer

Reduce speed and let pedestrians pass, stopping if necessary.

Reduce speed, check that leaving is safe and let pedestrians on the pavement pass, stopping when necessary. Article 65 gives them priority there; Article 72 requires safe joining and giving way to vehicles on the road. There is no general requirement to stop every time when unnecessary, and accelerating to leave sooner is inappropriate.
