Correct answer

Groups more likely to be involved in a collision or to be killed or injured in one.

They are groups whose characteristics or circumstances make them more likely to be involved in a collision or to be killed or injured. Vulnerability includes both collision exposure and the severity of its consequences. The educational risk-group classification includes children, young people, older people, pedestrians, cyclists and moped and motorcycle users. It is not limited to passengers already injured and does not mean that every member will have an accident.
