Replysuggestion: all of our vehicles are equipped with a back up alarm that is very audible when the vehicle is placed in reverse. This is certainly no guarantee, and no substitute for a visual check, but can be a help.

I know they have been open for a while now but,please remember to watch out for those kids crossing the streets and playing in the driveways. This was my biggest fear when I did residential, I would walk around my truck twice before I get in and I would still be antsy about backing up. So be careful and slow down.

Everyone has a purpose in life..........even if it's to be a bad example.

Great idea John, I just never see them and have always wondered why Ins companies do not make them mandatory for all types of in home service companies.

Good point John. JC Whitney use to have a backup light alarm combo in their catalog. Parts stores should carry them. But remember a horn or bell won't move a child or elderly person out of harms way.

All of ours are also. We have the service contract for the school district so we really have to be careful.Originally posted by John Lloyd

For awhile there we had a rash of "backing up into" accidents. Since we installed the back-up beepers we had not a one. It is true that things don't get out of your way but the alarm alerts the operator that he is in reverse.
