Personal Safety in a Vehicle

• Always wear your seat belt.
• Never drive after drinking any alcoholic beverages.
• Keep valuables out of sight while driving, and put them under the seat or in the trunk when the car is parked.
• If someone is following you, drive to the nearest police or fire station or a well-staffed gas station.
• Never stop for flashing headlights from another vehicle — all emergency vehicles have red or blue lights.
• When stopped at an intersection, leave enough room between vehicles for an escape route.
• Always give yourself enough room between you and the car in front of you, so you can stop if they do.
