Our fast-paced lives often have us in a hurry. As our kids play more independently outside, ensuring their safety around the driveway is crucial.
Here are some essential driveway safety tips to keep them safe:
1️⃣ Know exactly where your children are before getting into the car.
2️⃣ Check reversing cameras for toys or objects in the driveway and ensure they’re clean for better visibility.
3️⃣ Take a 360-degree walk around your vehicle to make sure kids, pets, or objects aren’t behind or beside your car.
4️⃣ Reduce distractions when reversing-turn down the radio and roll down the windows to listen for any unexpected noises.
5️⃣ Drive slowly when entering or exiting the driveway. Whenever possible, drive forward. Slower speeds minimise potential damage.
6️⃣ Allocate safe play areas away from the driveway and discuss car and driveway safety with your kids.
7️⃣ Help kids pick up loose items like bikes, toys, and chalk after playing.
8️⃣ Hold your child’s hand firmly whenever they’re around vehicles.
9️⃣ Create a safe spot for children to wait while vehicles are moving when family and friends visit.
By following these tips, we can keep our children safe and ensure our driveways remain accident-free zones. 🛡️
