Halloween isn’t just for the young, although adults tend towards candy-flavored alcohol rather than trawling for sweets. But with the change in trick-or-treating venues comes a need for designated drivers to operate used cars in New York, as well as other vehicles.

The National Retail Foundation reports that orange-and-black-themed parties for adults are becoming more common, and AAA is putting out a call for attendees to consider making one costume-wearer the designated driver.

“Halloween has become an increasingly popular occasion for adults to host and attend parties where alcohol is frequently served,” notes Beth Mosher, AAA spokesperson. By designating a sober driver, or by choosing not to drink alcoholic beverages if driving solo, this p”opular holiday can be less frightening for everyone.”

Since different towns celebrate the holiday on different days, children in costumes could be walking along roads throughout the weekend, increasing the potential for accidents among those who have lessened their awareness. Those who drive used cars in New York, or any vehicles this weekend, may want to consider an overnight stay, or avoiding residential areas.
