This is a friendly reminder to all drivers out there...make sure you are extra vigilent and look carefully when you are backing your car up. Children are out playing this summer and can get in your way without you're being aware. There was a sad story on the news last night about a grandmother who backed over her 18 month old grandson and killed him. Please take steps to make sure this doesn't happen to you.


While I'm on a safety kick...make sure you do not leave your cars unlocked so that children can get into them during the hot summer months. They can get locked in without your knowledge and suffer serious consequences because of the heat. And please, please, please...do not leave your children unattended in a car during the hot summer months...not even for a minute.
