Safety Tips While Driving Your Car

  • Always be aware of your surroundings and minimize distactions while driving. 
  • Keep windows rolled up and keep doors locked.
  • Avoid traffic routes or shortcuts that are not well-traveled or well-lit.
  • If you are involved in a "bump accident," do not shut off the ignition and do not immediately exit your car to inspect the damage.
  • If the actions or the language of the other driver appear threatening, drive directly to the nearest police station, fire station or open store and contact the police.
  • When stopped in traffic, you should always leave sufficient space between your car and the one in front of you to turn out and go around.
  • Keep your wallet or purse out of view while driving; never leave them exposed on the seat next to you.
