Drivers should be extra cautious on Halloween, as more pedestrians are out at night on the hunt for candy. If your night involves drinking some of the witch’s brew at a Halloween party, make sure you plan for a sober ride home. Remember: It’s never safe to drink and drive.
Because of the parties, trick-or-treating, and other festivities, Halloween night can be especially dangerous on our nation’s roads. Between 2016 and 2020, there were 129 drunk-driving fatalities on Halloween night.
If you plan to head out for a night of Halloween partying, follow these simple tips for a safe and happy evening:
• Even if you’ve had only one alcoholic beverage, designate a sober driver or find a sober ride to get home safely.
• If you see a drunk driver on the road, contact local law enforcement.
• See a friend who is about to drink and drive? Take the keys away and make arrangements to get your friend home safely.
Have a fun and safe Halloween weekend!
