Keep vehicle doors locked and windows shut.

Don't stop to assist disabled motorists. Contact a service station or police.

When stopped at a light, leave enough room between you and the car in front that you could make an escape.

Be suspicious of anyone approaching the car with fliers, asking for change or directions. Be ready to leave carefully, even if it means running a red light or stop sign.

While driving, if struck from behind or in any suspicious way, stay in your vehicle with the doors locked and windows closed until the police arrive. Activate your vehicle's emergency flashers.

If you think you are being followed, drive immediately to an area with lots of lights and people. If possible, drive to the nearest law enforcement office.

Obtain and use a cellular phone to call for help. In Georgia, dialing *GSP anywhere in the state from a cellular phone will connect you with the nearest Georgia State Patrol station. Dialing 911 will connect you with an emergency operator in your area.

If your are carjacked, remember that a car can be replaced, a life can not.
