Experts say there are five steps every parent should take on October 31
Children are four times more likely to be involved in fatal road accidents over Halloween night, data has revealed. Road safety experts at Road Angel are calling for all road users to be aware of the greater risks and exercise caution to ensure children stay safe during trick-or-treating.
The guidance provided by RoSPA suggests that parents may consider allowing their children to travel independently when they reach the age of eight or nine, but even then it’s crucial to ensure they have a good understanding of road safety. Research suggests only 18% of parents utilise reflective tape on their children's costumes, leaving kids susceptible to not being seen by other road users on dimly lit roads. Gary Digva, founder of road safety experts Road Angel said: “Despite Halloween being a fun time for kids going trick-or-treating, the dark night increases the risk for children on the roads.
