Driving

 

Drive with doors locked and seat belt on. Look for a visible public area (service station), hopefully with other people present, if 1) your vehicle is bumped form behind, 2) if

you think you are being followed, 3) if you are lost and or need assistance, 4) if someone tries to tell you there is something wrong with your car, or 5) if someone is trying

to get you to stop by flashing their headlights. Only the police will try to stop you with flashing lights and those will be red or blue.

If you are stopped in heavy traffic, particularly in or near San Jose, watch the ground next to your car through the rear view mirrors. Someone may be on the ground

letting the air out of your tires. If someone suspicious approaches your car while stopped at a light or stop sign, sound your horn until they leave.

Always keep your doors and windows closed and locked, especially while parked. Don’t leave anything that even looks potentially valuable in the car, ever. Never leave

your keys in the car, even for a moment. Always park in well-lit areas.
