B)their peripheral vision is greater.
C)they do not know all the appropriate behaviours for road use.Correct
Children as pedestrians tend to have limitations:
- Their visual field is smaller. It can be up to 40% less than that of an adult when walking between parked vehicles.
- Hearing problems. Children under 7 years of age are not able to locate the direction of a vehicle by its sound.
- Poor attention control.
- They tend to confuse being seen with seeing.
- They are unaware of the regulations. They do not know all the signs and appropriate behaviours.
For all these reasons, it is very important to exercise extreme care and caution around children.
