The world first technology is designed to stop children being injured or killed by reversing vehicles

Reversing just got safer

This Holden Captiva has been fitted with brakes that work automatically in reverse

Sensors detect an object and the car stops before impact

The technology can be installed onto any brake pedal

It could be a 1970's Commodore or the latest Rolls-Royce or Range Rover

This technology can be retrofitted to that vehicle

School Teacher, Chris Humphrey, says he had his car fitted

He says it's saved him from hitting a child

The mother was grabbing at her little daughter from behind my car

She was standing behind my car which I didn't see

RACQ statistics show that on average

3 children are killed each year in Queensland by reversing vehicles

One month ago, a toddler was seriously injured at Nambour

when he was hit in the family driveway

Reverse Alert Australia is now taking the product to Queensland schools

The Queensland government will consider making Reverse Alert technology mandatory

And the company says other states are interested, too

This is a relatively small but absolutely vital consideration

The Queensland engineer technology will soon be exported around the globe

Installation costs 1,500 dollars
