Helpful Halloween safe driving tips!

Once you’ve got a ride that you can trust on the night of Halloween, you’re ready

to head out for a night of spooktacular fun! While you’re behind the wheel of

your N Charlotte Toyota, keep these safe driving tips in mind on the night of

Halloween.

Turn your headlights on as soon as it becomes dusk. Light your path with

working headlights so you can see trick-or-treaters and they can see you

coming!

Use defensive driving techniques. Be completely aware of your

surroundings and anticipate the moves of other drivers on the road. Create

a safe following distance and follow road rules.

Avoid distracted driving. Safe driving involves not having any distractions

that take attention away from driving. This includes actions such as eating,

drinking, grooming and using a cell phone.

Never text and drive. Looking down at your cell phone while driving is

extremely dangerous as it could put you in danger and others out on the

road like kids crossing the street while trick-or-treating.

Come to complete stops at stop signs. When approaching a stop sign, stop

completely, check your surroundings and determine it is clear before

proceeding. Look for any ghouls, ghosts or goblins waiting to cross the

street.

Slow down! For safe driving, abide by speed limits and exert extra caution

in residential areas on the night of October 31. By driving slower, you allow

yourself to have more reaction time if someone were to suddenly step out

in front of your N Charlotte Toyota.

If you’re driving your children around while trick-or-treating, use your turn

indicators so other drivers know you are stopping. If you witness a driver

doing this, make sure you keep an eye out for princess, pirates and

pumpkins crossing the street and getting in and out of vehicles.

NEVER drink and drive. If you’ve been drinking, never get behind the wheel.

Have a friend drive or call a cab. Driving under the influence is extremely

dangerous and illegal.
