Correct answer

  • ACirculan marcha atrás porque el conductor no ha visto al peatón.Are reversing and the driver has not seen the pedestrian.
Explanation

When reversing, visibility is very limited and there are large blind spots: the driver may not see a pedestrian behind the vehicle, especially a child. That is why reversing is an exceptional manoeuvre that requires a careful check of the surroundings.
