A few years ago a beautiful little girl was killed in my hometown. She grew up playing on the property where her family’s business was located. One day she was riding her bike and an employee accidentally backed over her. There was no warning for either the child or the driver. It was simply an awful accident.

That horrible day changed the lives of her entire family and that of the employee as well. Low cost technology is now available that could have prevented the accident.

The Daytona Auto Alert for Cars or SUVs Backup Alert is a $50 device that could possibly save the life of a child or even vehicle damage. Sonar technology emits an audible alert when the vehicle backs up and gets too close to an object. The louder the sound gets the closer the object. The object in danger from the moving vehicle could be a child, a trash can or a bike. There is no need for you to take any action - the device is activated by placing the vehicle in revere.

No device will keep every accident from happening. However, technology is available to help fewer accidents happen. Nothing will replace due diligence so please always do yours especially when a child depends on you.
