If you want to back out of your driveway and there are children playing nearby, you should:

Back out quickly.
Rely on your rearview mirror to check if the way is clear.
Ask a person outside the vehicle to help you back out, if possible.
Sound your horn to warn the children to stay away.
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.
