The reason of the post is to educate women about the important of being safe on the road. Many women who are car owners may not realize that over doing it with their car makes them an easy prey. Road bullies or predators may easily identify that the owner of the car is a woman by these criteria
- Car colors are bright such as pink or light blue.
- Flowery arrangement 0n the dashboard or all around the car.
- Teddy bears (especially collection), pillows, car sticker that indicates a woman is driving this car.
- Do not hang clothing that indicate the gender of the car owner.
All those thing can be done in order to personalize our car but overdoing it may makes you an easy target. How to identify a threatening situation and how react in that situation is also important.
- If driving at night and you believe that you are being followed, give signal indicating that you are allowing the car to overtake you.
- If the car do not overtake, maintain a distance between your car and the car behind you. Do not drive directly back to your house, drive to an area with a lot of traffics or flow of people.
- Try to look at the plate number and car’s features and go directly to the nearest police station.
- Avoid confrontation with any drivers that show hostile driving, do not respond by using vulgar signal or words.
- If experience breakdown or car problem, avoid secluded area with limited cell signal. Called immediately your mechanics, or close friends and provide them the details, stay in the car until help arrived.
- If helped arrived in forms of strangers notify him / her (the strangers) that you have contacted all your immediate friends and family and have provide them with the details, and do follow up by providing the strangers details such as plate number, car features, name or distinct traits.
