Getting spooky during Halloween is a fun time of year but it can also be a dangerous night. If you\u2019re out trick or treating with the kids or dancing and winning costume contests, be careful out there. Don\u2019t take any chances this year and follow this list to stay safe.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Never Drink and Drive<\/strong> \u2013 Don\u2019t ever drink and drive. Just don\u2019t do it.<\/li>\n
  2. Supervise<\/strong> \u2013 Be aware of your surroundings and of those around you. If you\u2019re out with friends or chaperoning the kids, always be vigilant and be watchful.<\/li>\n
  3. Check it First<\/strong> \u2013 Make sure you inspect candy, food, and drinks for tampering before eating. That goes for kids trick or treating or anyone out on the town.<\/li>\n
  4. Watch Out<\/strong> \u2013 Masks can be dangerous and limit visibility. Always ensure you or anyone wearing a mask have clear vision.<\/li>\n
  5. Stay on the Sidewalk<\/b> \u2013 Be sure your group stays out of the road, and only crosses at approved locations.<\/li>\n
  6. Know the Difference<\/strong> \u2013 Halloween pranks are fun but someone pays the price for vandalism. Recognize the difference and speak up if pranks go too far.<\/li>\n
  7. Find a Ride<\/strong> \u2013 With all of the options to catch a ride, don\u2019t endanger yourself or other drivers by driving drunk.<\/li>\n
  8. Plan Ahead<\/strong> \u2013 Know your routes whether you\u2019re riding or walking, know where you\u2019re going and how.<\/li>\n
  9. Set up Candles Safely<\/strong> \u2013 Don\u2019t let flames get too spooky and start a blaze.<\/li>\n
  10. Pay Caution to the Roads<\/strong> \u2013 With so many young kids out, make sure you\u2019re watching for anyone darting out in the road.<\/li>\n
  11. Respect the Road<\/strong> \u2013 No matter if you\u2019re driving or walking, respect the rules of the road to make sure everyone has a safe Halloween evening.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These tips might seem obvious. But keeping them in mind could help you or someone else avoid an easily preventable accident.<\/p>\n
