  • Safely Enjoy Halloween With These Simple Tips

    Safely Enjoy Halloween With These Simple Tips

    Halloween Safety

    Halloween is just around the corner, which means that it is time to put the finishing touches on your costume and make sure that you have enough candy for all the trick or treaters that come to your door. You should also take the time to make sure that you know how to stay safe while enjoying the holiday. Keep these Halloween safety tips in mind so the whole family can fully enjoy the holiday.

    • Establish a curfew for any older children who will be trick or treating with their friends. Let them know that if they are not home by their curfew time that there will be consequences.
    • Plan a route with your kids ahead of time. Choose streets that are well lit and have sidewalks to help them stay safe.
    • When choosing a costume for your child, make sure that it fits well so that they do not trip over it. If their costume consists of a mask, make sure that the eye holes are big enough for them to clearly see.
    • Before you allow your children to eat any of their candy, inspect each piece. Throw away any candy that is open or looks like it has been tampered with.
    • If you are driving on Halloween night, slow down and stay alert. Children get very excited about Halloween and can easily run out into the street with little or no warning.
    • Only cross the street at a designated crosswalk and obey all traffic signals and lights when crossing.

    Having the right insurance coverage this Halloween can help to make sure that you are protected from any issues that you may face. Contact Saks Insurance in Mesa, Arizona for all of your insurance needs.

  • What To Do If Your Car Breaks Down On The Road

    What To Do If Your Car Breaks Down On The Road

    Car Safety Tips

    Having your car break down on the road can be very stressful. It can also be very dangerous since you are still in the way of the oncoming traffic. To ensure that you can stay safe during a breakdown, keep these tips in mind.

    • Never get out of your car to look at the damage or try and make a repair if you are on a busy highway. If possible, move your vehicle to the side of the road or off the highway completely before getting out. If you were involved in an accident, motion for the other driver to pull over as well so that you can exchange information in a safe location.
    • If you are not able to move your vehicle because of the damage, use your cell phone to call for help. Standing outside of your vehicle to call for help can put your life in danger. Call the police or a tow truck that will be able to get you to safety.
    • Keep reflective triangles or flares in your car so that you can warn other drivers that your car is broken down once you have made it to a safe location. Placing the flares or triangles behind your vehicle will give advanced warning to vehicles that you are stopped up ahead.
    • If you get a flat tire, never try to fix the problem while in the flow of traffic. Pulling over to the side of the road may mean destroying your wheel, but it is much safer than putting your life in danger.
