Think Safety First On Halloween

Hello. FYI I found a startling stat when researching for my Breakfast Television spot this morning.
Apparently primary school aged children are 4 times as likely to get hit by a car on Halloween evening as comapred to any other evening. 4 times! That's a devastating stat.
Please when you're going out tonight make sure you're safe. Please walk on the sidewalks, and look for traffic. Many costumes are hard to spot in the dark because they are usually made of darker colours.
Consider getting a FrightLite for your travels. They are only $3 each, and glow for 8-12 hours. It's a small price to pay for increasing a driver's visibility, and part of that money goes to cystic fibrosis research.
Because daylight savings time has been extended this year, it will be lighter longer. You may want to consider going out earlier than normal, so it's not completely dark. While this may take away part of the fun, it may help you get home safer.
Happy Halloween!

Regards,
Steve
