Driving Safety

· Avoid driving alone or at night.

· Keep all car doors locked and windows closed while in or out of your car. Set your alarm or use an anti-theft device.

· If you must shop at night, park in a well-lighted area.

· Avoid parking next to vans, trucks with camper shells, or cars with tinted windows.

· Park as close as you can to your destination and take notice of where you parked.

· Never leave your car unoccupied with the motor running or with children inside.

· Do not leave packages or valuables on the seat of your car. This creates a temptation for thieves. If you must leave something in the car, lock it in the trunk or put it out of sight.

· Be sure to locate your keys prior to going to your car.

· Keep a secure hold on your purse, handbag and parcels. Do not put them down or on top of the car in order to open the door.

· When approaching and leaving your vehicle be aware of your surroundings.

· Do not approach your car alone if there are suspicious people in the area.

· Ask mall or store security for an escort before leaving your shopping location
