  1. Think safe.

    Once in your car, make sure your doors are locked.

    Take note of your surroundings and be aware of where you are by recalling street or town names or landmarks.

    This is important if you get stuck somewhere and need to call a tow-truck or friends to find you.

    If you have symptoms of car trouble, act before it escalates to more than symptoms.

    Pull into a well-lit, preferably populated, area for help. Beware of people masquerading as police officers, especially those not wearing uniforms and in unmarked cars.

    Experts suggest that you instead travel directly to a police station and park in a well-lit area, using your horn to summon officers inside.

    Better to be safe than sorry, they reason. Likewise, if you suspect you are being followed, seek out a police station, too.

    Do NOT go home and direct any potential stalker there.

    Also, be aware that if the stalker then passes by you, it may not be error on your part; they may simply be waiting around the corner for you! If another motorist signals you about a car problem, wait to pull into a public place before checking on it.

    Park in well-lit and populated areas. And, don’t leave valuables in your car, or secure them where they are out of sight and temptation for passersby.

    Use a steering lock, like The Club.

    Don’t put your name and address on your keyring. That’s just asking for trouble.

    Approach your vehicle purposefully, ready to unlock and get inside.

    Make sure to glance around to see that no one is under, around or inside of your car, or that there is a van or other such vehicle on your driver’s side from which you could be grabbed.

    If so, return to your origin and ask someone to walk you back to your car. If you are pulling into your garage, lock the garage door behind you, watching to make sure that no one slipped into the garage as you arrived.

    If you suspect they have, keep your car locked and use your cell to call police, or back out again and summon police from your locked car.


  2. It would be nice knowing the type of car.

  3. Car itself isn't that dangerous. It's more like getting ran over, ran over someone (lack of situational awareness), touching parts you shouldn't touch (common sense) such as batteries and hot pipes, and spinning parts (obvious). There really isn't anything else that can hurt you. So what exactly you're trying to accomplish here?
