Show answer

Correct answer

  • CQue muchos no aprecian bien la velocidad a la que se acercan los vehículos.Many do not judge well the speed of approaching vehicles.
Explanation

With age, the ability to judge the speed and distance of approaching vehicles usually declines, and sight, hearing and reflexes also get worse. That is why many older people start crossing when the vehicle is too close; the driver must anticipate this and slow down.
