Should children play in the driveway of a house?
Driveways are dangerous places for children – they are designed to allow vehicles to and from a property and have the same hazards as roads. Children’s are little and quick so are a high risk around driveways.
On average 7 children aged 0-14 years are killed and 60 are seriously injured every year due to driveway run over accidents in Australia.
Most driveway run overs occur in the driveway of the child’s own home, or in a friend or relative’s driveway. The driver is usually a parent, relative or family friend. In 85% of cases, the driver does not know that a child is close to the vehicle; they think they are being looked after elsewhere.
All cars have a blind spot – an area around the car the driver just cannot see. It makes it difficult to see a child.
