Personal Safety (Return to)

In A Vehicle

• When parking your car, choose well-lit locations. Select a parking lot with an attendant on duty. If you must leave your keys leave only your car keys.
• Look into the backseat before getting into your car, and always keep your doors locked.
• Open your windows only part way so no one can reach in and unlock your doors.
• If you are being followed, drive to a police station.
• Be sure that your car is in good mechanical condition. Join a car club in case of emergencies.
• If you travel by bus, be aware of persons getting off the bus with you, to ensure that you are not being followed. It may be preferable to arrange alternate transportation than to wait at a bus stop alone late at night.
