Question 7749
In the context of traffic, what does the term “vulnerable groups” refer to?
- Young people under 30 years old who are injured in an accident.
- The population groups most likely to be involved in an accident.
- Passengers who are injured in a motor vehicle accident.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The population groups most likely to be involved in an accident.
Vulnerable groups, also called at-risk groups, are more likely to be involved in an accident or suffer serious injuries in one because of their age or how they travel. This includes children, older adults, pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. The group is defined by that risk, not by having been injured in an accident.
