Automobile Personal Safety Tips
No one method of prevention is completely effective in every
situation. Allowing yourself to consider what you would do if attacked may be the best
preparation. Also consider the following suggestions:
- Check the back seat of your vehicle before entering and immediately lock the door behind
you.
- Never leave keys in the vehicle or ignition.
- If you are being followed, drive to the nearest police station or open business and honk
your vehicle's horn.
- Never leave your vehicle running - not even in your driveway!
- Always keep windows up and doors locked - even while driving.
- Park in secured lots that are well lit and near high traffic areas.
- Remove valuables from your vehicle and place them in the trunk - out of view.
- Keep your garage door opener with you. If your vehicle is stolen, the thief may attempt
to get into your house.
- Avoid leaving any information that contains your home address in your car.
