Neighbor-to-Neighbor

Keep children safe! About 183 children are killed in driveways each year, often
times by their own parents.

Back-over accidents are not uncommon. About 7,000 children are injured in
back-over driveway accidents each year.

Please do not let children play in the driveway unattended! Require them to
stand in a "visible location" away from the driveway before you move the
vehicle.

The best defense is to look behind your vehicle just before you back up. This
means walk behind the vehicle.

Do not assume the child is in the house! Again, take time to walk behind the
vehicle.
