Halloween is scary, accidents are scarier

RCMP are hoping all the little trick and treaters have a good, and a safe time tonight.

They're reminding drivers the only thing scarier than ghosts and goblins on Halloween is reckless driving.

They've putting out some safety tips they hope will keep everyone safe.

- Don’t drive impaired,
- Expect the unexpected: Make sure you’re being extra cautious and aware of children who may be on sidewalks and crossing streets,
- Keep your eyes on the road: If you’re going to be wearing a costume while driving, make sure that you remove your masks, eye patches, or anything else that might impact your eyesight,
- Be aware of an increase in foot traffic
