Car Safety Tips

11/30/2014

 
Picture
Sometimes being reminded of a few easily-to-follow safety tips can help protect you from becoming a victim ... and help you stay more aware of your surroundings. Below are a few tips that could help protect your safety.
  • Have a car key in hand and ready when approaching your car.
  • Look underneath as you are approaching your car.
  • Before entering your car, check the front and rear seats to make sure no one is inside the car.
  • Enter promptly and avoid lingering in the lot (updating the checkbook, reviewing the recent purchase ...).
  • Scan the environment prior to exiting the vehicle looking for signs of trouble.
  • Keep the doors locked and the windows up whenever possible.
  • Avoid the curb lane of intersections.


  • Place your purse on the floor where it won't interfere with foot controls and can't be snatched from your car.
  • Park in well-lighted areas.
  • Be prepared to unbuckle.
  • Avoid parking near vans and large trucks that can limit the view of witnesses.
  • When stopped in traffic, leave space to maneuver around vehicles.
  • Try to maintain at least 1/2 tank of gas.
  • Ensure your vehicle is in good condition.
  • If you develop mechanical trouble and it is safe, remain in your vehicle. Keep the doors locked and the windows up until help arrives.
  • To signal distress, put up the hood of your car or display a sign. If someone stops to offer help, don't leave your vehicle. Ask them to call the police or a service provider for you (if you can't).
  • Don't accept rides from newly-made acquaintances.
  • Avoid isolated roads and short cuts.
  • If you are followed, drive to the nearest open business for help... or go to a police or fire station.
  • When dropping someone off, wait until the passenger has safely entered his/her destination.
  • If involved in a minor collision at night or in an isolated location and you suspect foul play, do not exit to inspect damage or speak to the driver. Signal the other driver with your lights and proceed to the nearest lighted and occupied business or police station.
