Things you should ghost this Halloween πŸ‘»

Distracted driving, speeding, and not using headlights are truly scary. Firefighters see firsthand the consequences of these bad habits on our roads. πŸš’

πŸŽƒ This Halloween, ghost these habits and help keep our roads safe for everyone.

Just kidding, you really do need to do all of these on your commute! Giving yourself extra time means you’re less likely to speed, get distracted, or make other risky moves.

With kids back in school and traffic picking up again, let’s all do our part to keep the roads safe. πŸš—
