Injury prevention is accident prevention.
Join us in our efforts to save lives. The number of little kids struck by blindly backed delivery trucks is unknown because they occurr on private property and therefore are not included in police traffic statistics. Yet we know many small kids are in danger, especially those whose only playgrounds are apartment parking lots. The new law requires that all delivery trucks in the state be equipped with rear crossview mirrors of the type developed and used since the early 1980's by Federal Express. We ask that you post this message where safety activists and families who have suffered like ours will find and use it to work for similar laws in their states.
