Halloween is an incredible experience that is enjoyed in our city. Everybody has been waiting for it, and it is finally here. Children are ready with their costumes to trick-or-treat from door to door. Therefore, observing road safety tips is advisable for both parents and drivers to ensure you have a fantastic Halloween. Our team here at Ourisman Ford & Lincoln has some tips to be safe:
- Parents should always accompany children on the road.
- Drivers in residential neighborhoods should drive at least five mph below the posted speed limit.
- Parents should have light refractors on the kids’ costumes such as glow sticks and flashlights to be noticed by drivers.
- Do not pass a stopped car because it may be dropping kids.
- When driving, keep your phone away, avoid calls, photos, or surfing the web and concentrate fully on the road.
- Parents should train kids on road safety tips before going out, such as to always use crosswalks and look both ways before crossing among others.
With these tips, Halloween will be fun and safe.
