Driving This Halloween

Tonight is the night of Halloween, the scariest night of the year, where ghouls, ghosts and goblins come out of the shadows and fear and terror set in across the country, for one night only.

However if you are planning to be on the roads this Halloween, there needn’t be anything terrifying about your driving.

Driving at Halloween can be especially dangerous for multiple reasons. By now, the Autumnal weather has most probably set in across most streets, leaving heaps of dead leaves littered across the roads. Combined with the already wet road surfaces and the dark nights setting in earlier, this can make for particularly treacherous driving conditions.

Also be on your guard for children this Halloween. The age-old ritual of trick-or-treating can be a great experience for most youngsters, however it does require drivers to be extra vigilant on the roads as a high volume of children take to the streets tonight. Children are less visible than their adult counterparts at the best of times, and when they are wearing darkened costumed colours on these dark nights, they will become even harder to see.

Take care with your driving this Halloween, and hopefully the only scary thing about tonight will be the prospect of “bobbing for apples”.

Safe driving this Halloween from Britannia!
