Explanation
When you need to back out of your driveway and see children playing nearby, you should ask a person outside the vehicle to help you. If you are alone, walk to the back of the car to ensure that the way is clear, checking for any small child or dog that could easily go unseen from inside the vehicle. When backing up, don't rely solely on your rearview mirror or side mirrors; always turn your head to look directly out of the rear window, and remember to back out slowly.
