I have been trying for some time to stop children being killed in driveways, by the use of a stainless steel mirror mounted at the right location. Then anyone can see if children, dogs or anything else is in the way. We must push the idea to save our children from this horrendous fate. Consider the children that can be saved for a small outlay. A kit could attract a subsidy from one of the organisations in the public arena who do good works... (abridged)

driveway mirrors on cars
Posted on 15-12-2010 13:40 | By algail
Mirrors won't make much difference as they cannot reveal the rear view of a vehicle. A rear view camera would be much better. I can't understand how running over a child on a driveway happens. What is wrong with making sure the children are inside the house when a vehicle is expected or leaving the home. I know people say ' Oh kids move so fast ' Well so do Dogs and cats. We take the trouble to make sure none of our dogs are on the driveway when there are moving vehicles about or expected and dogs can move much faster than children can. Is so hard for a parent to make sure the driveway is clear of children before even getting into ones car. I don't wish to be unkind but there it is ,look before you leap as they say. Alastair
