With Halloween falling on a Wednesday, AAA is reminding evening commuters and other motorists to expect more pedestrians on the road, as many children and families will be trick-or-treating through neighborhoods. Halloween ranks as one of the top 3 days of the year for pedestrian injuries and fatalities.
AAA is advising drivers to avoid talking or texting on the phone while driving, drive slower through neighborhoods, turn on your headlights-even in the daylight, and drive sober. Nearly 40 percent of fatal crashes on Halloween involve a drunk driver.
