With Halloween landing on a Friday this year, many adults plan to partake in celebrations. Motorists should err on the side of caution when driving to and from parties to avoid accidents involving trick-or-treaters.
To prevent a true nightmare from happening, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and National Safety Council recommend motorists follow these guidelines.
1. Be especially alert and cautious when driving on Halloween due to the high number of pedestrians.
2. Watch for children walking on roadways, medians and curbs, and darting out from parked cars.
3. At twilight and later in the evening, watch for children in dark clothing.
4. Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully.
5. Avoid using a cell phone while driving.
