How to prevent carjacking

Carjacking


The Automobile Association of Malaysia offers some useful tips:

 * Wear your seat belt: It's not only for your own safety, but it is also a deterrent to a car-jacking. A carjacker cannot get you out of your seat easily when you are wearing your seat belt. 

* Room to maneuver: When you stop in traffic make sure that you are able to see the tyres of the car in front of you. This will allow you to move away easily. 

* Lock your car doors: When you are in your car lock your doors immediately.

 * Someone appears at the side of your car unexpectedly: Do not open the door or roll down the window especially at night. If he tells you that there is something wrong with your car, don't get down but thank him and drive away. 

* Before you enter your car: Look around especially at parking lots to check if there is any suspicious figure around.

 * While you are about to get into your car someone approaches you: Move away from your car. Come back when the coast is clear. 

* When someone is carrying a gun: Do the sensible thing - give up the car.
