The rate of backover injuries and deaths of children happens at an astonishing rate.  Almost every vehicle has a blindspot, some more than others, where a child may be behind a vehicle and the driver doesn't even know it.  As an answer to this more and more vehicles come with added safety features such as backup sensors or rear video. For even more safety the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends some tips that are important to follow:

    - Ensure that children are properly supervised at all times, especially when vehicles might be present.
   
    - Teach children not to play in, under or around vehicles.
  
     - Avoid making the driveway a playground. If children play in this area, make sure it's only when no vehicles are present. To further protect children when they are playing outside, separate the driveway from the road with a physical barrier to prevent any cars from entering.
   
    -Never leave vehicles running, and keep all vehicles, even those in driveways and garages, locked.
   
    - Always assume children could be present and carefully check the street, driveway and area around a vehicle before backing up. If children are outside, know where they are and have them stay in full view. Look behind as you back out slowly, with your windows rolled down to listen for children who may have dashed behind your vehicle, and be prepared to stop.
   
    - Remember that the blind zone in an SUV or pickup can be especially large. Use extreme care.
   
    - Talk to other parents in the neighborhood about backover incidents and ask them to teach their children not to play in or around any vehicle or driveway.
