ANTI-HIJACKING TIPS |
|
1) | Always leave your window approx. 5cm open - if the window is totally closed, it is easier for them to break! |
2) | Always put your bag under the passenger seat or in the boot – never grab for it when you are getting out the car when being hijacked - he will think you are reaching for a gun and shoot you. |
3) | Don't use petrol stations after 9pm - they are now hijacking there too. |
4) | Always keep your cell clipped to your belt - thus when you are out of the car you can call for help. |
5) | Be more aware - count the number of cars around you, the number of people in groups etc. then you will know exactly when one is missing! |
6) | Don't race to the robot if it is red - you get hijacked only when the car is stationary - thus glide to the red robot, so there is only a short time until the robot turns green. |
7) | Be very aware when going under bridges - they drop stones onto your windscreen etc. forcing you to stop. |
8) | When the gun is put to your window - put both hands up facing him - always allow him to see your hands otherwise he thinks you are looking around for a gun and will shoot you. |
9) | Be aware of where the police station is in your work / home area. If a "cop" wants to pull you over drive to the police station first - maybe he is not a cop. |
10) | The human body takes 21 days to kick into a habit - therefore, don't give up on being aware, persist for at least 21 days. |
11) | They are after Toyotas and BMW's - be very aware if you have one. |
12) | Of course - keep your doors locked. |
