Safety reminder

WITCHES AND GHOSTS aren’t the only possible dangers awaiting trick or treaters on Halloween night (October 31), according to John T. Hanna, director, Highway Safety Division of Virginia.

“Traditionally, children trick or treat at night. This combination of cars, darkness and pedestrians can spell trouble. We don’t want to spoil anyone’s fun, just make motorists and pedestrians aware of the hazards,” continued Hanna.

For 3 a safe night of trick or treating, Hanna advises children and their parents to wear light colored costumes or clothing. Look for approaching cars before attempting to cross Jhe street and only cross at corners. ...

“Motorists must compensate for their limited visibility caused by dusk and darkness. Letting eyes adjust to the darkness before starting to drive will be of some help. Driving with headlights, not parking lights, increases the driver’s field of vision. It also warns approaching motorists and pedestrians of the car’s presence, Hanna said.D
