Why is it harder for a driver to see a child crossing between parked vehicles?

Question image: Why is it harder for a driver to see a child crossing between parked vehicles?
  • Because children are shorter and are hidden behind vehicles
  • B Because children always run when crossing
  • C Because children do not wear reflective clothing
  • D Because children only cross at night

Why this is the correct answer

Children are shorter than adults, so they see less of the road and are in turn harder for drivers to see, especially when hidden behind a parked vehicle.
