Top 7 Driving Safety “Tricks” For Halloween
Halloween is a time for fun, but it’s also a time to be extra careful on the roads. You don’t want to spook your riders or trick-or-treaters with unsafe driving. Here are seven tricks to help keep this Halloween a treat for everyone:
1. Watch Out For Trick-Or-Treaters
Kids will be out in-force on Halloween night, so be extra careful when driving through neighborhoods. Slow down and keep an eye out for little ghosts and vampires darting across the street.
2. Don’t Drive Under The Influence
It’s never a good idea to drink and drive, but it’s especially dangerous on Halloween night. There will be more pedestrians on the roads and many of them will be wearing dark costumes that are hard to see. Keep yourself and everyone else safe and stay sober or get a safe ride from a friend or a ride-share service.
3. Don’t Get Distracted By Your Costume
Whether you’re dressing up your car or yourself, make sure you don’t let your costume interfere with your driving. If your costume is blocking your view, impairing your movement, or otherwise making it difficult to drive safely, take it off or make some adjustments.
4. Be Careful With Decorations
If you’re decorating your car for Halloween, make sure the decorations are secure. You don’t want anything to fly off and hit another car or pedestrian. Also, be careful not to block your headlights or taillights with anything that could obscure the light.
5. Drive Defensively
Halloween is a busy night on the roads, so be prepared for anything. Be extra cautious and watch out for other drivers who may be impaired or distracted. Look out for pedestrians who may not be paying attention and be prepared to stop suddenly if necessary.
6. Be Patient
Halloween can be a chaotic night, so try to stay calm and be patient. Don’t get frustrated with other drivers or pedestrians. Remember that everyone is just trying to have a safe and fun night.
7. Take Your Time
There’s no need to rush on Halloween night. Leaving early and taking your time when driving to your destination will help you stay calm and focused on the road.
