"Lots of common Halloween costumes aren't suitable for driving, particularly if they include capes, masks or unusual footwear. If you're caught driving in a costume that limits your ability to drive safely, it can be classed as careless or dangerous driving, which comes with weighty penalties. If you need to be somewhere in costume this Halloween, I'd suggest travelling in your normal clothes and putting on your outfit once you arrive at your destination."
"With children out trick-or-treating on Halloween, motorists should be mindful of the increased likelihood of accidents and risk of little ones appearing from behind parked cars. If driving through residential areas, the easiest thing to do is to slow down and just be mindful that there'll be more excitable children around than usual who could unknowingly put themselves in danger by walking in the road or forgetting to look both ways before crossing the road."
More road traffic accidents occur between 5 pm and 7 pm on October 31 than on any other day of the year, so parents and motorists must take steps to keep trick-or-treaters safe. Driving in a Halloween costume can lead to a £5,000 fine and licence points if the outfit limits driving ability. Costumes with capes, masks or unusual footwear can be classed as careless or dangerous driving and carry heavy penalties. Drivers are advised to travel in normal clothes and change at their destination. Motorists should slow down as dusk and increased pedestrian activity raise accident risk, especially with children appearing from behind parked cars.
