HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF WHEN TRAVELING

Published by FUN MATES PRESS

SAFETY ON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

 
1. While waiting for a bus or streetcar, stand near others who

are also waiting.

2. If the immediate area is deserted or in darkness, stand near

an occupied building or in a lighted area until transportation

arrives.

3. Once on a bus or streetcar, be aware of those around you.  If

someone looks or acts suspicious, notify the driver.

4. If the coach is empty or nearly empty, sit as far up front

and as close to the driver as possible.

5. If someone begins to bother you, get up and notify the driver

immediately.

6. Upon arriving at your stop, be aware of those who alight with

you.  If you feel you are being followed, go to the nearest

occupied building and ask for assistance.

7. After dark, attempt to get off the bus in well-lighted areas.

 Use only well-lighted streets to reach your final destination.

AUTO SAFETY

1. Make certain your car is always in good working order, with

safe tires and an adequate amount of gasoline for your planned

trip.

2. Always check your car before getting in - to make sure that

no one is hiding inside.

3. If you have a garage, be sure you lock the door as you leave.

4. It is best to park in attended lots.  If you must leave a key

with the attendant, leave only the ignition key.  In all other

cases, lock your car.

5. Do not leave packages or personal items in open view in the

car... place them in the trunk.

6. At night, park only in lighted areas.

7. If you are in danger of being harmed or robbed while in your

car, start sounding your horn until assistance arrives.

8. Never pick up a hitchhiker.

9. If you have a flat tire in an area you feel might not be

safe, try to keep driving until you reach a safe location.

10. If you feel you are being followed, drive to the nearest

police or fire station, or open filling station.

ELEVATOR SAFETY

1. Observe elevator interior before entering.  Wait until the

next elevator if you are uncertain of any occupant.

2. Females riding the elevator alone should always stand near

the control panel.  If accosted, press ALL buttons.

3. If a suspicious person enters the elevator, exit before the

door closes.

4. Before exiting from the elevator, observe the corridor for

suspicious activity.
