Halloween Safety Tips for Truckers
Giant blow-up pumpkins on lawns. Ten-foot-high skeletons waving at you as you drive by. And – maybe the spookiest thing of all – throngs of kids in costumes, maybe walking a little too close to the roads for your comfort.
Yes, Halloween is almost here! And because we at Truck Service of Virginia keep safety in mind in everything we do, we’d like to share some Halloween safety tips, especially for truckers:
-
Reduce your speed, especially in residential areas.
-
Be extremely vigilant for children darting into the street, particularly between parked cars.
-
Increase visibility by using headlights and hazard lights
-
Avoid distractions to focus on the road and potential hazards.
-
If possible, plan your route to avoid neighborhoods during trick-or-treating hours.
-
Be extra cautious of impaired drivers later in the evening
