Question 3776
As pedestrians, children under 10 years old are especially vulnerable, among other reasons, because their field of vision is...
- the same as an adult's.
- smaller than an adult's.
- larger than an adult's.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: smaller than an adult's.
Because children are shorter, they can see less than adults. Between parked cars, their field of vision can be up to 40% smaller. They also have poorer peripheral vision, so they take longer to notice a car approaching from the side.
