Tip of the Day: Be especially alert while driving on Halloween night.

• Drivers should be particularly alert on Halloween night and watch for children on streets, alleys, cross-walks and driveways.

• Motorists should slow down while driving through residential areas, and should especially be aware of the increased number of children walking in neighborhoods.

• Motorists should be alert, this is an exciting time for children and the potential for kids to dart out into traffic is heightened.

• Motorists should be extremely careful backing out of driveways and parking lots. Children, especially the small ones, are hard to see at night. Drivers should make sure their path is clear to avoid any avoidable accidents.

• Halloween is an ideal time for social events. If drivers intend to celebrate, the Sheriff’s Office would like to remind them not to drink and drive. All motorists should have a designated driver or should call a taxi.
