The devastating consequences of low speed vehicle run-over incidents has led to\u00a0a\u00a0plethora of suggested intervention and &#8216;tips&#8217; for parents and others interested in child and infant injury prevention (for example, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidsafewa.com.au\/drivewaysafety.html\">http:\/\/www.kidsafewa.com.au\/drivewaysafety.html<\/a>; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.safekids.org.nz\/index.php\/page\/driveway-run-over-kit-locations\">http:\/\/www.safekids.org.nz\/index.php\/page\/driveway-run-over-kit-locations<\/a>; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.keepyourchildsafe.org\/child-safety-book\/child-driveway-accidents.html\">http:\/\/www.keepyourchildsafe.org\/child-safety-book\/child-driveway-accidents.html<\/a>). In addition, after-market reversing cameras are available for purchase, and many new cars now come with this option as a standard feature.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these resources, low\u00a0speed vehicle run-overs\u00a0continue to\u00a0occur and they are\u00a0not an isolated phenomenon unfortunately. Examples are commonly found in the news media (e.g., in Australia earlier this month: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theherald.com.au\/story\/2153058\/baby-hospitalised-after-being-run-over-in-driveway-by-4wd\/\">http:\/\/www.theherald.com.au\/story\/2153058\/baby-hospitalised-after-being-run-over-in-driveway-by-4wd\/<\/a>). In New Zealand, a news report summarising a recent tragedy finished with a summary of 7 other driveway deaths (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/national\/9879675\/Child-run-over-in-driveway-dies\">http:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/national\/9879675\/Child-run-over-in-driveway-dies<\/a>). Similar events are also summarised in\u00a0an article reporting a 2013\u00a0tragedy in Texas (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theeagle.com\/news\/local\/article_55db2af5-f68b-5344-9e00-60c79f109c6a.html\">http:\/\/www.theeagle.com\/news\/local\/article_55db2af5-f68b-5344-9e00-60c79f109c6a.html<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>So how do we progress in preventing injury to our most vulnerable? Are parents and other caregivers unaware of the potentially-devastating injuries that can be sustained in the family driveway, thus suggesting\u00a0that education is the key? Or is engineering, in the form of barriers and mandatory cameras, the solution? I would argue that a multilevel approach is needed, and is needed urgently.
