At 40 MPH, what percentage of pedestrians survive an impact with a vehicle? 90% 50% 10% None of the above

1. Consider the following traffic accident. The defendant was driving her car at approximately the speed limit (35 mph) down a two-lane city street. No cars were parked on the driver’s side of the street at the time the accident occurred. The car proceeded through a lighted intersection and struck a 12-year-old boy at a point approximately 150 feet past the intersection. The car dragged the boy 41 feet before stopping. Once the car stopped the driver backed up and drove over the boy again. Most of the boy’s injuries were to his leg. Damages were set at $100,000. What human factors issues should be considered to determine whether the driver was able to stop the car prior to striking the boy?

Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75 s before he or she can react to a situation to avoid a collision. It takes about 3 s for a driver having 0.1% alcohol in his system to do the same. If the driver with 0.1% alcohol is travelling on a straight road at 72 km/h (20 m/s) and his car can decelerate at 1 m/s2, determine the shortest stopping distance (d) from the moment he see the pedestrians.Question 9Answera.320b.290c.260d.225
