Halloween is one of the most popular holidays we celebrate. Children have such a good time dressing up and getting candy, and even some parents get into the spirit and dress up alongside their children. However, Halloween trick-or-treating night can be one of the most dangerous nights to be out driving around, especially in town. Usually, for at least a few hours, there are youngsters everywhere, running from house to house and crossing dark streets. It gets dark pretty early that night, and many kids are wearing dark costumes and are difficult to see. When children are crossing intersections and streets, sometimes without their parents, it is a recipe for disaster if you are not careful when driving along a neighborhood street on Halloween. Drivers must be especially vigilant to avoid a car accident on Halloween.
We all want youngsters to have a fun time that night and get home safely with their goodies. Therefore, there are some things that you can focus on to be safe if you must drive on Halloween night.
Children and parents can also practice Halloween safety tips to be safe while walking on sidewalks and streets when trick-or-treating. Here are some of the most important safety tips as compiled by the American Academy of Pediatrics:
