- Take Precautions:
- Know your environment.
- Get to know who belongs in the vicinity of your home or workplace and who does not.
- Keep your eyes open for anything out of the ordinary.
- Lock all doors and close windows before driving off.
- Try to vary your route to places you visit regularly.
- Ensure all your mirrors are adjusted to give you an optimal all-round view of your surroundings.
- Try to stop about 5m behind the car in front of you at a stop sign or traffic light – it makes for an easier getaway if trouble arises.
- Don’t be fooled by:
- False appeals for help.
- “Accidents” such as having your car rammed from behind.
- Someone trying to get help from a stationary car.
- Your electric gates being jammed
