Anti Hijacking Tips

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.
