Ch. 2 · Pedestrian Conduct

Because most traffic accidents involving elderly pedestrians occur during the day, family members should advise them to avoid going out during the day.

[True / False · Hard]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

The Rules of the Road states that "most traffic accidents involving elderly pedestrians occur at night," not during the day. Also, rather than advising them to avoid going out, the text recommends advising them to wear bright-colored clothing and use reflective materials at night.
