This is a reminder to be extra careful when driving on Halloween night and to NOT DRIVE DRUNK!
Halloween night is often one of the deadliest nights of the year due to the number of impaired drivers on the streets. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2009, 48 percent of all traffic fatalities on Halloween night involved a driver or a motorcycle rider with a Blood Alcohol Content of .08 or higher.
Even if you had half a beer, please DO NOT DRIVE. Halloween means more children and they are distracted by the excitement of the holiday and often don’t obey traffic rules.
If you are headed out to a party on Halloween night, make sure you have a designated driver, even if you don’t plan on drinking much. Or check out this list of 50 non-alcoholic party drinks.
If you don’t have a designated driver, there are services that can help. If you are in the US, find a list here of Sober Ride programs.
