Police officers and construction workers are at an increased risk of being struck by drunk drivers because they a. work near traffic b. are permitted to break traffic laws c. are often more difficult to see than other road users

A. work near traffic

Explanation:

Driving while under the influence of alcohol is a danger regardless of how much you drink and how far you drive.

Although many are aware of the risks of mixing alcohol with driving, many people believe that drinking too little or driving drunk over short distances does not pose a threat to life and safety in traffic, this thinking is wrong.

When a person drives drunk he endangers not only his life, but the lives of all the people who are on the road. In this case, the most vulnerable people are police and construction workers because they work so close to the roads.
