Correct answer
- CPorque en caso de atropello de un peatón, la probabilidad de lesiones graves es menor.Because if a pedestrian is hit, the likelihood of serious injury is lower.
Explanation
The higher the speed at the moment a pedestrian is hit, the more serious the injuries and the lower their chances of survival. Moreover, in built-up areas 50 km/h is the general limit only on roads with two or more lanes in each direction; with a single lane in each direction it is 30 km/h (Article 50.1 of the RGC).
