Question 7671

The probability that a traffic accident is fatal is much lower...

  1. in a two-wheeled vehicle than in a passenger car.
  2. in a passenger car than in a two-wheeled vehicle.
  3. in a four-wheeled vehicle than in a three-wheeled vehicle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: in a passenger car than in a two-wheeled vehicle.

In a passenger car, the body, seat belt, and airbags protect you in a crash. On a motorcycle or moped, your body takes the impact almost directly, so injuries are much more serious and the likelihood of dying is much higher. In the picture, the motorcyclist has fallen onto the asphalt and is being treated by a medical professional.
