apparently the different variants of English don't agree on what "captions" and "subtitles" are.

Probably doesn't help that the closed caption option usually appears in the subtitle menu in most software 😅

But yeah, I think what you're referring to is normally called "closed captions", but I can see how it would be shortened to just "captions" for convenience in some cases.

Looks correct for an Imprezza hitting an adult, not so sure about the Forester hitting a child though...

Yeah the stock image was probably taken when the dog was getting a routine vaccine or something 😅
