Show answer

Correct answer

  • ASí; entre otras razones, porque suelen desconocer las normas y señales de tráfico.Yes; among other reasons, because they often do not know the traffic rules and signs.
Explanation

Yes. Children aged 6 to 10 are at-risk pedestrians because they often do not know the rules and signs, are easily distracted, misjudge the speed of vehicles and, because of their height, see less well and are less easily seen. Their field of vision is also narrower than an adult's.
