erate, stay in the car w ith the doors
locked W ait for the police to a r­
rive.
• M ost police experts do not recom ­
m end that you carry w eapons in
yourcar. Instead, they suggest that
every day item s like flashlights, fin­
gernail files, pens, keys and screw ­
drivers can be used for protection
•
If som eone forces you to drive
your car in an abduction, try to
attract the attention o f the police
by turning o ff the lights, speeding,
driv ing as i f you w ere intoxicated,
or running into som ething.
•
N ever follow a stran g er who of­
fers to help y ou find y our way on an
unfam iliar road or street. W ait in
your vehicle and ask for d irec­
tions.
A list o f these tips is available
from AAA O regon in a free brochure

If you drive alone in the w inter,
keep em ergency item s such as a
traction mat, a shov el and a bag o f
sand or kitty litter in your trunk
Flares, blankets, w ater, flashlight,
canned food and a reflective "H elp’’
sign are also useful.
If you have a flat tire in a dark or
dangerous location, drive slowly
to the nearest service station or
public place. Even if you ruin the
tire you w ill not have risked your
life.
A lw ays park in a central, well-
lighted place, preferably w here
there a ie attendants on duty or
people passing by. Try to park so
th at you will approach the d riv er's
side o f the car w hen you return.

one w ho has crouched by the door.
Avoid short cuts that take you
through unfam iliar or unsafe a r­
eas.
If you notice som eone suspicious
near your ca r w alk in a different
direction tow ard a public place
and seek help.
