The Institute offered the following safety tips to motorists and parents of trick-or-treaters: To motorists-Drive slowly and warily. Watch for children darting out between parked cars. Tap your horn oc casionally on dimly-lighted residential streets. Be ex tremely cautious while backing out of driveways. To parents-Escort your lit tlest ones.
