I was reading this article in the news paper and thought of sharing this vital info. with u guys. so here it is:
1. Don't park ur car near isolated or visually obstructed areas near walls or heavy foliage, and at night always park ur car in welllighted areas.
2. As u approach ur car always look around, under and inside it and if safe, open the door, enter quickly and lock and drive immediately.
3. In the city always drive with ur car doors locked and windows rolled up(if possible i.e. only when u have an A/C in ur car).
4. If ur bumped in traffic, by young males, be suspicious of accident.
5. Beware of the good samaritan who offers u help for repair of car or tyre. Help is good but be alert.
6. Never offer lift to starngers, even to a women or to an old man unless u r satisfied.
7. Never try to speed up ur car when u r signalled to stop by some suspicious armed person, they can open fire on ur can in frustration. use ur common sense and act responsibly.
8. If u r confronted by an armed jacker, stay calm and don't resist. Give up ur keys, money, cellphone etc. If demanded.
9. If a carjacker has entered ur car and u r forced to drive, consider crashing ur car near a busy intersection/place to attract public attention so that bystanders can come to ur help and call the police, but be sure that ur not within the range of the gun or any other weapon of the hijackers while attempting to do so. This should be 100% ensured because ur personal safety is of utmost importance.
Regards.
