Correct answer
- CNo conocen todos los comportamientos adecuados para circular.They do not know all the correct ways to behave in traffic.
Children as pedestrians usually have limitations: their field of vision is smaller (up to 40% less than an adult's when they walk between parked vehicles); they have hearing problems (under the age of 7 they cannot tell which direction a vehicle is coming from by its sound); they have poor control of their attention; they often confuse seeing with being seen; and they do not know the rules (they do not know all the signs and the correct ways to behave). For all these reasons it is very important to pay extra attention and take extra care around children.
