You want to back out of your driveway. You see children playing nearby. Before you start to move your car, you should:
When you back up a vehicle, look through your back window for pedestrians and other obstacles. Do not rely only on your mirrors, especially when children are near. Before you back into or out of a driveway, get out of the vehicle and check behind your vehicle.
- Rev your engine to warn the children that you are moving.
- Sound your horn so the children will hear you.
- Walk to the back of the car to be sure the way is clear.
- Tell the children to stay away from the driveway.
