Don’t let Halloween become a nightmare
Halloween can be a great time for both kids and adults, but it can quickly turn into the worst night of your life, for a number of reasons.
Halloween is a particularly deadly night due to drunk drivers. Over half of all the highway fatalities across the nation on Halloween night involve a driver or a motorcycle rider with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It’s critical that you never drink and drive — and always remember to designate a sober driver.
Parents beware of the dangers on the streets and the many other hazards your child can easily encounter. Read the following extremely important safety tips you need to keep in mind, even before your child picks out a costume.
