Question 7755

What are the groups of people who have a greater probability of being involved in a traffic accident or of dying as a result of one called?

  1. Victims of traffic accidents.
  2. Groups at risk of social exclusion.
  3. Vulnerable road users or those at greater risk of vulnerability
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Vulnerable road users or those at greater risk of vulnerability

They are called vulnerable road users or at-risk groups. Their age or the way they travel—on foot, by bike, or by motorcycle—exposes them more to accidents and their consequences. Victims are people who have already died or been injured in an accident, and social exclusion is a separate issue.
