Simple things like keeping your car in good running order and planning your route can avoid traumatic situations.
Top 10 general-safety tips for women
1 Think ahead: Plan your route and travel on well-used roads.
2 Make sure your navigation system is up-to-date.
3 Night drive? Always tell somebody your route, destination and what time you expect to arrive. If your plans change, tell them.
4 Make sure your cellphone is fully charged, but out of sight, when driving.
5 Don't EVER pick up hitch-hikers.
6 Ensure your car is serviced regularly. Yes, you have to check your petrol, oil, coolant and tyres every now and then.
7 Keep the doors locked and the windows closed as much as possible, especially in
stop-go traffic or when traveling alone.
8 Always be aware of your surroundings.
9 Keep your handbag, laptop bag or shopping bags in the boot - always, but keep your cell phone, some money and house keys separate. Don’t leave them on the passenger seat or behind the front seats.
10 Most important: Be confident! Know where you going and how to get there. Be alert and keep fit. Have a good posture, keep your head up and don’t be distracted by talking on a phone or rummaging in your handbag.
