Correct answer
- Cdesconocen las normas y tienen un campo visual menor, entre otros motivos.they do not know the rules and have a narrower field of vision, among other reasons.
As pedestrians, children have a number of limitations: - Their field of vision is narrower. It can be up to 40% smaller than an adult's when they walk between parked vehicles. - Hearing problems. Under the age of 7 they cannot tell which direction a vehicle is coming from by its sound. - Poor control of their attention. - They do not know the rules. They do not know all the signs or how to behave correctly. For all these reasons it is very important to pay extra attention and take extra care around children.
