The month of October holds many events usually with a Halloween theme so it’s not surprising that children of all ages are dressed in costume and excited for this wonderful holiday. Bedford Nissan, a Nissan dealership near Solon, OH, wants all Northeast Ohio families to be safe. Perhaps you’re driving your family to nearby Cedar Point for Halloweekends, or you are picking a pumpkin at Mill Creek MetroParks. Some families may be joining others for the annual Halloween camp out at Pleasant Hill Lake Park Campground. No matter what your plans are, the dealers at Bedford Nissan want to offer a few tips to stay safe in your Nissan vehicle.
Be extra vigilant for kids darting between cars, at crosswalks, intersections, and the side of the road. Keep scanning all around you as you drive, whether as through traffic or along with your kids as they trick-or-treat.
Be proactive and slow down. Drive at least 5 miles below the posted speed limit in residential areas during trick-or-treating hours. This will allow you time to break in your Nissan car if you see a child dart in front of you. In the event of an emergency or collision, the 2016 Nissan Sentra provides remote access from your smartphone and emergency preparedness features designed to contact help in case of a collision.
Carefully enter and exit driveways and garages. Use your rearview backup camera on your 2016 Nissan Sentra to check on any little ghosts or goblins crossing behind you.
When you’re driving when it’s dark out on Halloween and there’s a bright set of headlights behind you, use your Smart Rearview Mirror. By using cameras installed at the rear of the vehicle, this new technology lets the driver switch between the regular mirror view and the digital view fed by the cameras. The camera view displayed on the LCD monitor mimics the appearance of a traditional rearview mirror, but without the potential obstructions.
