Halloween Safety Tips-1031

Halloween is a fun time of year for children and even adults, but it is also a time to exercise caution. Despite knowing it's a holiday when children will be walking outside while it is dark, some drivers will not care. Speeding drivers come in all sizes, shapes, beliefs and philosophies. Children often will dart back and forth from one house to the next - without thinking much about the path they are taking to get from point A to B. So, close adult supervision is crucial. Do not assume that all adults will be thinking like you. Some of them have dinner appointments, jobs at night, planes to catch - you get the picture. It's sad to see an otherwise outstanding citizen - a teacher, store manager, secretary speeding through a neighborhood as if on a freeway - but they do it every day and there's nothing that can be done to stop them.
