Every year we face many of the same things whether they are personal, public, or professional. However, one aspect of our year that we not only observe, but also get to enjoy is that of holidays. Holidays give us a chance to not only reflect on the actual purpose and meaning of the day, but also gives us the opportunity to do so in fellowship. When we observe a holiday it brings about certain traditions that enable us to better participate and acknowledge its meaning, and understanding.
Trick or Treat?
One holiday soon to come is that of Halloween, which will be upon us within the next few weeks. Halloween is that time of year that the pumpkins are out, the Fall air is finally here, and sweet treats are all around. Halloween is also the infamous time of year that children, and adolescents alike have the opportunity to dress up in a costume and go door-to-door and trick-or-treat. While this is a fun, and magical time for many what can actually occur during Halloween on the road?
What You Should Be Aware of This Halloween
There are two main aspects that drivers need to be concerned with during Halloween on the road. The first is that of pedestrian safety. As previously stated, Halloween is a holiday that many children dress up and walk around and collect candy from homes. One can easily assume that this means that children will be very, very close to roads, especially that within residential areas. When you are driving this Halloween make sure that you follow speed limits with care, and watch the sidewalks and the road very cautiously since children will be going back and forth all around.
Another aspect of Halloween and the roads is that of the presence of DUI crimes. Many times, adults celebrate Halloween in their own special way and either go out to a bar, or a party and enjoy the opportunity to act like kids, dress up, and have let off some steam. However, this usually means that alcohol will not only be present, but also consumed. Make sure this Halloween when consuming alcohol that you have a designated driver in order to not only keep yourself self, but also other motorists alike, and especially that of pedestrians.
