Women go out with different attitudes but, it is very much necessary for a woman to remain conscious of her surroundings especially when she is all alone. Mindful women can detect the danger on time and keep away from any bad situation before it arises. One must learn to read people, judge their intensions and how to tackle strangers.

• Beware of strangers who give a gesture to stop the car, seemingly, wanting to know the address of some place, or standing with their broken car or wanting a lift. The best option you have is to call patrol police and indicate them the location of the broken car, in other situations, you may stop the car on some distance, stay inside and tell them to get help from patrol police.
• Before sitting in your car, check the car parked next to yours. An empty car, without any person inside, can have some hidden danger. At that time, you can aware the attendant of it and take help from patrol police.
• If seeing a stranger approaching you, when you are standing still at some place, waiting for someone or for some other purpose or you might have just entered the car and about to start it, immediately start honking your horn and drive away.
• Keep looking in back view mirror and check vehicles. If somebody is continuously coming behind you, it means, that car or bike is chasing you. Inform the police if possible, otherwise drive to some nearby police station. Always remember in such dangerous situations, hoot the horn nonstop so that the people around you get alert.
• Jam packed areas can be dangerous. In such crowded areas full of vendors, kids and beggars don’t wait for any risk because they themselves are threatening. Keep your doors locked, and windows rolled up.
• Sometimes it happens that someone gives you a signal that there seems to be some problem with your car, don’t pay attention to it unless you reach a safer area and then check your car if you feel there could be some trouble.
• In an unfamiliar area, you may need somebody to tell you the right direction. In this situation, if somebody offers you to show the direction and asks you to follow him, never do that, remain in your car and understand the verbal instructions.
• In case your car is hit from back, don’t rush out, stay inside and wait for the police to arive.

Women should also follow their instinct and if they sense some sort of danger, keep away from that situation as far as possible. Never indulge in others’ problems on road because that can be a hidden trouble in itself.
