When entering your vehicle and while driving:
- Have your key ready to enter the vehicle, and check around and inside before getting in.
- Know where you're going and how to get there. Call ahead for directions, if necessary.
- Drive with all doors locked and windows up.
- Make a mental note of hospitals, police and fire stations as you pass by.
- When pulling up behind another vehicle at a stoplight or sign, leave enough space in front of you for an emergency escape, if needed.
- When dropping off a guest at their vehicle, make sure they are in the car and safely on their way before departing.
- Avoid driving through high-crime or unfamiliar areas.
- Avoid driving during late night and early morning hours when less traffic is on the road.
- Avoid curbside lanes. Drive in the center lanes away from potential foot traffic.
- Do not hurry to stoplights or signs. Keep the vehicle in motion whenever possible.
When approaching your destination, parking your vehicle, and preparing to exit:
- Check rearview mirrors to make sure you're not being followed.
- Choose a secured and well-lit parking lot or garage near heavily traveled walkways, streets and businesses for greater visibility.
- Park at the ground level, if possible, to avoid using elevators or stairs.
- When returning home after dark, have someone turn on the outside light and meet you at the door, if possible
- When exiting your vehicle, be cautious of surrounding obstructions and natural barriers that may be concealing a carjacker.
- Never sit in your parked or stopped car eating, sleeping, reading, or applying makeup.
- Do not park next to suspicious vans; trucks, dumpsters or places carjackers may be hiding.
