4 Driving Tips to Keep Everyone Safe on Halloween!
Everyone loves a good Halloween scare, but not when it comes to safety. Tonight, trick-or-treaters will be out haunting the neighborhoods, and here at BB Insurance Marketing, we want to make sure that you have a safe and happy Halloween. Parents and drivers should take extra care in safeguarding children. Low visibility and heavy pedestrian traffic can make Halloween a bit “tricky”, but these safety tips can help keep this holiday a “treat”.
1. No speed demons allowed
If you are driving through a residential area, drive as slow as possible. Avoid passing stopped vehicles in case they are dropping off children. You should also be especially cautious when entering and exiting driveways.
2. The horrors of distraction
On Halloween, neighborhoods are filled with children unexpectedly darting out into the street. Put away your cell phone and don’t look away from the road to ensure you don’t injure any trick-or-treaters. You should also never drive while wearing a mask.
3. Turn signals aren’t terrifying
Communicate your intentions to pedestrians and other drivers by using your turn signals. If you’re dropping off trick-or-treaters, pull over and use your hazard lights.
4. Drinking on Halloween can be a nightmare
It doesn’t matter if you’re driving or walking, drinking on Halloween can be a deadly choice. The combination of alcohol and the increased number of people walking in the streets at night makes Halloween the most dangerous night of the year for pedestrians.
