Correct answer
Believing that seeing a vehicle means its driver has already seen the child.
Believing that because the child can see a vehicle, its driver has also seen the child. Seeing and being seen are different: short stature and obstructions such as parked vehicles can make detection difficult. This describes a risk factor for child pedestrians, not a proven leading cause of all crashes involving children.
