Halloween is scary for many reasons. There are ghouls, ghosts and goblins running amok. There are haunted houses and frightening decorations. There is madness and mayhem. There is witchcraft. There are clowns. 

However, one thing that shouldn’t be scary this Halloween is your driving. Of all the days to practice safe driving, Halloween may be the most important. The streets will be filled with kids trick or treating in the evening, followed by parades of party-goers enjoying a costumed night of wicked revelry.

Let your friends and neighbors enjoy the Halloween festivities by practicing safe driving this weekend. The more safe drivers on the road, and the fewer dangerous and/or intoxicated drivers, the more fun everyone will have.

Here are some tips for safe drivers to follow this Halloween:

• Drive slow. Kids will be spontaneously jetting out into the street all over town.
• Watch for children running out into the road from between parked cars.
• Expect pedestrians on the road, in the medians and on the curbs and sidewalks.
• Enter and exit driveways with extreme caution.
• Keep an eye out for the dark clothing that makes up most Halloween costumes, especially after the sun goes down.
• Avoid all distractions – especially cell phone use.
• Don’t get too distracted by outlandish costumes and decorations. If it’s that interesting, pull over to marvel.

Now put on your freaky costumes, #drivesafe and have fun!
