Halloween safety: Free loaner reflective vests

The Maryland State Highway Administration is lending reflective safety vests to parents or guardians for their children to use on Halloween.

The vests will be available for free at most counties. You could pick up a vest today and Friday at SHA maintenance facilities from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. on a first-come first-served basis. The vests must be returned by Nov. 5.

Besides putting the reflective vests over children's costumes, SHA suggests you also could create a new costume: Combine the vest with a hard hat, a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and boots. Good idea.

I am a firm believer in putting safety first. After building knowledge on the dangers of car accidents, there is no reason why proper attire should be avoided when you are working in limited visibility situations Reflective Vest
