Yuma police gives the following easy steps for a safe Halloween:
- Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin.
- Before drinking, please designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home.
- If you’re impaired, use a taxi, or an Uber driver, or call a sober friend or family member.
- If you happen to see an impaired driver on the road, call 911.
- If you know someone who is about to drive while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.
- Drive slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic, and turn your headlights on earlier in the day to spot children from greater distances.
- Yuma police said to enjoy and have fun but to do it responsibly. They want to remind the community to stay safe in every possible way this weekend.
