Children might not stop, either because they don&#8217;t see your vehicle approaching or don&#8217;t know how to safely cross the street.<\/li>\n<li>Communicate with other drivers. Always use your turn signals. And if you have to pull over to drop off or pick up your kids, turn on your hazard lights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Keep Your Own &#8220;Trick-or-Treater&#8221; Safe!<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Teach them how to safely cross streets. They should look both ways and cross only at corners and crosswalks.<\/li>\n<li>Consider indoor community Halloween programs for younger kids. Some communities also offer to help you inspect your kids&#8217; treats to make sure they&#8217;re safe to eat.<\/li>\n<li>Brighten them up. Give them flashlights and glow sticks, and\/or use reflective tape on their costumes, so drivers can see them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Source: <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/nhtsa.org\/\"><em><u>National Highway Traffic Safety Administration<\/u><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t leave your insurance to luck!
