"Young children are at greater risk in private driveways and parking lots than as occupants of motor vehicles"
I read this article last night:
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-000003829jan15.story
and it was a definite eye opener. Not only parents should read this, but everyone should.
We all think we are very careful when backing out of the garage but I'm sure the couple in the article thought the same thing. I think back at the times when I've blasted out of the garage and driveway without giving much thought. Yes, the kids are in the house, but what if they slipped out when I wasn't looking?
Today, whenever I put the car in reverse, I thought of this article.
I already told my wife about the article and told her to be very carefull, now I am telling all of you:
PLEASE BE VERY AWARE OF WHERE ANY CHILDREN ARE WHEN BACKING UP.
