Keep Your Ghosts and Goblins Safe this Halloween

Halloween is a fun holiday, but, due to increased foot traffic, the chances of your little one being involved in an automobile accident drastically increase. Streets are filled trick-or-treaters dressed up in costumes and masks, making it that much more important for you to be extra careful when driving. Here are some things to keep in mind when out on Halloween night.

• Don't drive distracted. That means no texting and driving or doing anything that takes your attention off of the road.
• Pay close attention to crosswalks and intersections. Children tend to walk out onto the street without looking, especially with the excitement of Halloween all around the.
• Drive about 5 miles per hour under the posted speed limit. This give you extra time to react if a child happens to dart out in front of your car.
• Don't pass other car when they're stopped. They could be letting kids out of the car. Wait a little while before you go to make sure there are no children crossing.
