Halloween Safety Reminders From NY Insurance Firms
The Insurance Information Institute urges drivers and parents across New York to prioritize safety on Halloween. With about 3.2 million elementary students trick-or-treating, motorists should drive slowly watch for wandering children back out of driveways and use their horn on dim streets. Parents should escort youngsters wear bright clothing and use reflective tape while older trick-or-treaters carry flashlights. Avoid drinking and driving at parties and keep eye contact before crossing streets.
