Halloween Driving Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At a glance: Help protect trick-or-treaters by following these Halloween driving tips, or on the night your community hosts Halloween activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be especially careful between 4 and 8 p.m., when most severe vehicle\/young pedestrian collisions happen.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

  • Drive slowly, and don’t pass stopped vehicles. The driver might be dropping off children.<\/li>
  • Park your mobile phone. Avoid distractions by waiting until you’ve stopped to call, text, or surf.<\/li>
  • Watch for children darting into the street. Kids can cross the street anywhere, and most young pedestrian deaths happen at spots other than intersections.<\/li>
  • Yield to young pedestrians. Children might not stop, either because they don’t see your vehicle approaching or don’t know how to safely cross the street.<\/li>
  • Communicate with other drivers. Always use your turn signals. And if you have to pull over to drop off or pick up your kids, turn on your hazard lights.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    And, to keep your own trick-or-treaters safe on Halloween:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Teach them how to safely cross streets. They should look both ways and cross only at corners and crosswalks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Consider indoor community Halloween programs for younger kids. Some communities also offer to help you inspect your kids’ treats to make sure they’re safe to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Brighten them up. Give them flashlights and glow sticks, and\/or use reflective tape on their costumes, so drivers can see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
