• Badly lit areas, quiet residential/industrial/barren areas.
• Do not follow set patterns. Please vary your routes and timings especially when traveling to and from work, schools, going daily to parks for walk/jogging etc.
• At night do not give way to suspicious vehicles if they honk or flash headlights for behind to corner you. When driving lock your doors in front and leave enough distance from the car in front, so that in case the front car stops or blocks you, there is enough space for you to maneuver and get away.
• Whenever possible stay on the roads with fast moving traffic. If anybody blocks your road, try to choose an exit point even if means damaging your car to escape the blockade.
• Look behind when driving. Beware of who is following you. If suspicious, stay calm and head for the nearest safe haven in the event of crisis, such as police or military barracks, busy and other secured areas etc. Meanwhile, always try to shake them off trail and never approach your house or your friend’s unless you are sure. If being followed, drive fast and remain alert.
