Driveway safety (pdf, 211.78 KB)
Most people associate the risk of being run over with speeding and being struck by a stranger who isn’t paying attention. However many of these accidents happen at low speed, in driveways and garages, and involve cars driven by someone the child knows well—often their mum or dad.
Low speed run overs can be fatal, particularly for younger aged children.
It’s important to keep children away from moving vehicles. Always check where children are before you move a car—every car, every child, every time.
