Perhaps in homage to Black Friday as the day after Thanksgiving, the day before Turkey Day has earned the nickname of Blackout Wednesday. One of its other monikers further clarifies the name: Drinksgiving.

Drivers are in danger of getting lazy about going through school zones and must reacclimate to lower speed limits and reestablish their awareness of crossing guards, students, and parents, not only in school zones but everywhere.

Teens want to roam free most of the time, and they may think they can get away with just a little more on Halloween when they’re kind of “expected” to be tricksters.
