Halloween Driving Safety Tips
We think driving during Halloween is best to be avoided, but if staying in is not in the cards then be on the lookout for parades of little goblins, ghouls, witches, and superheroes. In light of the approaching holiday, we want to remind everyone to drive safe and keep to the below guidelines.
1. Keep your eyes on the lookout for little creatures and superheroes.
Children can forget to look both ways when candy is on the mind, so keep your attention on the road at all times.
2. Improve reaction time by driving slow.
Speed limits and solid white lines exist for a reason. When you drive fast, it takes longer to stop.
3. There is no need to pass other vehicles.
As mentioned in number 2, slower is better, especially with all the foot traffic and cars on the road during Halloween. If you expect to drive slow, it won't be frustrating if you end up getting stuck behind someone going slow.
4. Feed the glove box your mobile phone.
If it's not accessible while driving, you won't be tempted to look at a text or call should one come through.
5. Add to the night light show.
Always use turn signals and have your headlights on. They allow others to see you and you to see others.
6. Turn down the music.
Take a lesson from the story of the blind samurai. You can hear before you can see, especially at night.
