SAFETY AROUND AND BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES
Using a rear-view camera is not enough to completely overcome a vehicle’s blind spot. Many
preventable injuries and deaths occur in driveways or parking lots when drivers do not see
children, pets, or others near their vehicles. Here are a few safety tips that will help you to avoid
a backover accident.
* Walk completely around your vehicle before getting in. Check for kids, toys, and pets before
entering the vehicle and starting the engine.
* Know where children are. Have children stand in a place where they are in full view.
* Be aware of young children. Young children are small and hard to see.
* Parents, caregivers and all adults need to be vigilant in supervising children, especially when
children are in the yard, driveway or parking lot playing near parked cars.
* Roll down your window so you will be able to hear what is happening outside your vehicle.
* Owners of SUVs, trucks, and vans need to take extra care to avoid hitting or running over a
child.
* Teach children to move away from a vehicle whenever it is started.
