Why must a driver take extra care near children?

  1. They find it hard to judge the distance and speed of vehicles.

Correct answer: They find it hard to judge the distance and speed of vehicles.

Children are less aware of danger than adults. They also judge distance and speed less well, so they can react in a way you did not expect.
