Pokémon Go safety tips

Although you have probably been warned countless times regarding safety while playing Pokémon Go, here are a few tips to keep in mind while you’re out and about:

Do NOT play Pokémon Go while you’re driving. If you know you’re driving past a Pokéstop or Pokémon nest, pull over and do what you need to do.
Playing Pokémon Go does not excuse you from rules and regulations. Pay attention to the rules of parks, businesses, or any other places you might be hunting.
Avoid hunting for Pokémon alone, especially at night. Some people have been using the game to take advantage of unsuspecting victims. Instead, grab a friend and look out for one another.
