- No, because they do not pose any danger.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because they are especially vulnerable to the dangers of traffic.
Yes. Pedestrians have no vehicle body or seat belt to protect them, so their bodies take the full impact when they are hit. They may also move unexpectedly. That is why you need to pay special attention to them in the city and on roads outside built-up areas, where collisions with pedestrians are less common but more serious. Take even greater care with children, older people, like the woman with the cane in the image, and people with disabilities.
