Further call for drivers to use reversing cameras

A child who was knocked down by a car outside an Auckland kindergarten late last year has been released from hospital.

A recent report by the New Zealand Medical Journal revealed that New Zealand's driveway deaths are the highest in Organisation for Economic Development and Co-operation countries.

The incident has prompted The Dog & Lemon Guide, the AA, Plunket Society and Consumer New Zealand to call for drivers to use reversing cameras.

Dog & Lemon Guide editor Clive Matthew-Wilson said reversing cameras were the most cost-effective solution to the problem of small children being invisible to reversing mirrors.
