Carjacking Prevention Tips

You can reduce your chances for carjacking by taking the following steps:

  • Keep doors and windows locked when driving.
  • When stopped, allow at least one car length between you and the car in front of you. This allows you room to maneuver, if it becomes necessary.
  • If you can't drive away from a threatening situation, draw attention to yourself-- honk your horn or yell. Remain in your locked car if possible.
  • Keep your purse and other valuables out of view while driving.
  • Drive in the center lane if possible to avoid being pushed onto the shoulder.
  • Don't stop at isolated pay phones or cash machines.
  • Keep a lookout if you see a stranger approaching your car. If you're in the car, drive away as quickly as possible. Walk away from the car if you're outside.
  • Above all, don't resist an armed suspect. Your car isn't worth risking personal injury.
