In Belgium, vulnerable road users include pedestrians, cyclists, mobility scooter users, and horse riders. Special attention must also be given to children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities, as they are particularly at risk (Article 7.1 of the Belgian Road Code).
When passing cyclists, two-wheeled moped riders, or horse riders, motor vehicle drivers must maintain a minimum lateral distance of 1 meter within urban areas. Outside urban areas, this distance increases to at least 1.5 meters. If these distances cannot be maintained safely, you must slow down and, if necessary, stop.
Not always in terms of formal right-of-way, but Belgian law requires drivers to exercise 'extra caution' towards vulnerable road users. This means you must be prepared to slow down, and even stop, if necessary, to prevent danger or hindrance, especially when children or other vulnerable individuals are present, even if you technically have priority.
Drivers must be doubly cautious when children are visible near the road, regardless of whether they are on the pavement, near a playground, or at a school. You must slow down considerably and be prepared to stop if there is any potential risk of children entering the roadway, reflecting the higher duty of care placed on drivers.
The Belgian Road Code places a significant emphasis on the principle that the user of a more dangerous or heavier vehicle (like a motor vehicle) has a greater duty of care towards more vulnerable users. This translates into requirements for increased caution, reduced speeds, and specific passing distances to prevent accidents and protect those most at risk.
By completing VRU Special Care, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Belgium. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
