*. Play your music at an acceptable volume when travelling through residential areas and cities, and do not space out or start fiddling with your laptop at every halt. Take into account that a good number instances of carjacking happen after the victim is caught unaware, therefore as long as you remain focused, you've got a good thing going.
*. Parking lots also call for appropriate attention and in case you are approaching your vehicle after your shopping attempt not to agree to unwarranted assistance. Have your keys out and be prepared to open your vehicle and fasten the shopping, get in the car, lock the door and be on your way. Don't come close to your car if a van which wasn't there beforehand is stationed adjacent to it. Look for a security guard to walk you to the automobile. If a security personnel isn't accessible, find a couple nearby and request for an escort. A good number people would be willing to offer some time and ensure your wellbeing.
*. Do not presume that an unmarked automobile with flashing lights is the law: If you believe that the car that wishes you to pull over isn't driven by a law enforcement official, then continueto drive till you locate a well lit area with folks and after that stop . Stepping out of your vehicle in such a case is also not recommended, and do not hesitate to ask for the person's ID in case you have any suspicion.
