You spend a lot of time in your car, and even doing work or making calls while your parked. As you travel from appointment to appointment, keep these tips in mind:

• Don’t approach your vehicle if a van or other large vehicle with tinted windows is parked close to it. Find someone willing to walk you to your car safely.
• Take two seconds when you arrive at your
  destination to check out potential dangers:
  ◊ Is there any questionable activity in the area?
  ◊ Are you parked in a well-lit, visible location?
  ◊ Can you be blocked in the driveway by
  another vehicle?
• Have your key ready to open the car door.
  Never stand next to your car searching through your purse.
• Once in your car, lock the doors immediately.
• Get moving! Don’t sit inside of your vehicle doing other things that get you distracted.
