It depends on how much driving I guess, I saw a kid last night who was being driven from house to house...that's going way too far but driving them a different neighborhood or something isn't too bad
This is why we stopped providing treats to trick or treaters. We have maybe 40 kids in our neighborhood, but saw over 200 three years ago. Parents would drop off a van full at the end of the cul-de-sac and wait for the kids.
OK kids, you have covered the 4 good houses in our neighborhood, now get in the car so we can hit GM-B's house, then GM&GP-A's, then Aunt C's, Aunt D's and Uncle E's house. They are scattered all over town so be sure to go to the bathroom first.
I live on the outskirts of Portland and rain is our game, and until these past few years I've never seen cars. Weather excuses just make me scoff, I know that's not really fair, I can't help it.
The first wave is from the neighborhood. They tend to walk with their parents. The drivers come later from outside our neighborhood. By then, I close up shop and turn out lights.
I take my kid on my Segway. We ride right up to the door. And I can carry heavy sacks of candy. My daughter is fairly short so even though she is 22 she still passes as a teenager.
It depends on the circumstances. I was never driven trick-or-treating and never drove. But I've also seen weather conditions, densities, and neighborhoods that make driving practical.
It depends, if they live in a neighbprhood where the houses are long distances apart, or maybe it is snowing 0/rainingnoutside, that's one thing.
But if they walk their kids up to a door, get in the car and drive 30 feet and repeat the same thing- :/
