On the road.

Check your doors are locked before driving off, and if you need the windows open for fresh air, only have them open a few centimeters to prevent someone reaching through.

If you car starts to falter, stop in a safe place rather than continuing to your destination, risking a breakdown.

If you see someone with a car apparently broken down, consider whether they need assistance, particularly a woman alone. If the breakdown appears genuine, you could stop within calling range and speak through a partially open window, offering to telephone for assistance.

Do not pick up hitchhikers.

When halting at traffic lights, or intersections where there are not many people or vehicles about, be alert to any person approaching your car. Check the rear view mirror and be prepared to move off quickly if necessary, if someone does manage to jump into your car when it is temporarily halted, you can attract attention by flashing the headlights and using the horn. The objective should be to attract attention and escape from the car as quickly as possible, preferably at a place where there are people around.

Other motorists

If a passing motorist indicates to you to stop, keep driving to a busy area before getting out to check your vehicle.

If you think you are being followed, confirm your suspicions by making turns and staying on busy and brightly lit streets if at night.

If the other car continues to follow you, do not drive home revealing where you live. Drive to a Police station, open service station or similar place where you can call the Police. Try to note those details of the car that you can, registration number, colour, make, description of driver and direction the vehicle was last seen travelling in. If you have a mobile telephone, call the Police while you are being followed.

If a driver ahead of you deliberately forces you to stop by breaking or blocking the road, do not turn off the engine as you may stall when trying to restart.

If the driver gets out of the car and comes towards you, remain in your car with doors locked and windows shut. Sound your horn and flash your lights.

Look around to see if there is enough space behind to reverse and accelerate away. If there is no room to manoeuvre around the other driver's vehicle you may have to turn around and depart quickly from the rear direction.

If another motorist bumps into your car in a quiet or isolated area, do not get out of your car to check the damage or speak to the other driver. Drive to a place where there are other people before stopping. Note the registration number of the vehicle and report it to the Police if the other driver has not followed to exchange names and addresses.
