State Troopers with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol want to remind motorists to use caution when driving during Halloween.
Please use the following safety tips when operating a motor vehicle:
-Always drive at safe speeds, especially in residential areas.
-Use extreme caution when backing from a driveway or parked position.
-Watch for small children who may be “trick-or-treating” in and around
neighborhoods.
-Pay special attention to the roadway and avoid distracted driving.
-Always drive sober!
Troopers urge parents to chaperon children while they are outside enjoying
this festive occasion. Costumes should include proper safety attire for
nighttime activities, such as a flashlight and bright reflective clothing.
Remember to always use sidewalks and walk in well-lighted areas when they
are available. Children should never walk unattended, especially around
unfamiliar areas.
Please take a moment to review this safety message and share with anyone
who may take part in Halloween activities this year.
