Explanation
Backing up is inherently dangerous because it is hard to see behind your vehicle. Do not rely only on mirrors when children are near. Before backing out of your driveway, walk to the back of the car to ensure the way is clear. This allows you to check for any obstacles or children that might be in your path.
