Ready For Some Trick or Treats?

Each year, Halloween is traditionally celebrated with trick-or-treating and parties — and candy and drinks. Unfortunately, the night often includes drunk drivers on the streets. Here are some tips to keep Halloween safe. Safety Tips for Drivers: Be alert for trick-or-treaters on Halloween. Slow down and continue to scan the road in areas where they are likely to be or where sight distances are limited. On Halloween there will likely be more pedestrians on the roads and in places where they are not expected. Slower speeds save lives. Stay alert for pedestrians who may come out from between parked cars or behind shrubbery. Stop, wait for them to pass. Don’t look at your phone when you’re driving. Your attention needs to always be on the road. If you see a drunk driver on the road, contact law enforcement.
