Driveway Safety

[ebhappydc]

Hey guys... As some of my dcp don't keep up with the News, I've warned them about driving in and out of my driveway when other parents are there trying to get reluctant kids into their car in light of the recent tragedy of the 5 yr old backed-over by their mother. She was trying to make room for child to play on driveway.

I find driveways can be so hectic with the parent chasing one child and the other is playing with the automatic doors, horn etc. It only takes a split second for something to go really wrong and toddlers are so short they're hard to spot when backing up. I've got my own new teenage drivers added to the chaos sometimes, so I'm a wreck! I feel soooo terrible for that mom and her family I've heard of these tragedies happening a few times before. it's best to put your kid in the car while trying to move it.
