Speed
In towns and cities, a pedestrian's chances of survival are significantly higher when the vehicle is travelling at:
- A Below 90 km/h
- B Below 70 km/h
- C Below 50 km/h
- ✓ The lower the speed, the higher the survival chance — especially below 30–50 km/h
Why this is the correct answer
Statistics show that the probability of a pedestrian's death decreases dramatically with vehicle speed. Below 30 km/h, most pedestrians survive; at 50 km/h or more, the risk of death is very high.
