Back-over deaths devastate families
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — An estimated four U.S. families each week bury a loved one — often a child — who was backed over by a vehicle and killed.
Safety advocates say such tragedies can largely be prevented by imposing new car safety rules that were expected to be implemented this week, but postponed. Those rules would have mandated that every new car and truck under 10,000 pounds built after September 2014 include a rear-view camera system. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates those changes would save 95 to 112 lives every year and prevent more than 7,000 injuries.
But the agency, when faced with a Feb. 29 deadline to come up with new rules, deferred.
“While the Department has made progress toward a final rule to improve rearward visibility, it has decided that further study and data analysis — including of a wider range of vehicles and drivers — is important to ensure the most protective and efficient rule possible,” the agency said in a statement. “The Department remains committed to improving rearview visibility for the nation’s fleet and we expect to complete our work and issue a final rule by December 31, 2012.”
