Because of the nature of his work Chris is likely to encounter a number of “vulnerable road users’. Which of the following could *NOT* be described as a “vulnerable road user”?

Explanation: The following are all considered vulnerable, and so are not correct answers to this question:
• A motorcyclist riding a large powerful machine: Even a more experienced motorcyclist riding a larger machine has little or no protection around them and, in the event of a collision, is likely to come off worse than a car, truck or bus driver.
• A young person riding a moped: A young person is likely to have less experience and the moped will offer little or no protection to the rider in the event of a collision.
• A cyclist: A cycle will offer little or no protection to its rider in the event of a collision.
• A disabled person riding a motorised wheelchair: The motorised wheelchair will offer little or no protection to its user in the event of a collision and some disabilities would leave the person with restricted movement of their neck and limbs so that they may be unable to make good use of mirrors or move to cover their blind spots.
This is the correct answer:
• A policeman driving a patrol car: A policeman driving a patrol car is likely to be one of the better and more prepared drivers you will encounter on a road.
