Safe Driving

Measures you can take to ensure your safety from smash & grab attacks:

lock_close_windows

Lock all your doors and close the windows when driving.

dont-open-door

Never open vehicle windows or doors for strangers.

do-not-engage-sellers

Avoid opening your windows or getting involved in discussions with street vendors or anyone handing out flyers.

watchout-for-strangers

Be constantly on the lookout for suspicious looking characters.

careful-at-intersections

Always be conscious of your surroundings and remain alert when coming to an intersection or stopping your vehicle.

careful-at-intersections

Be wary of people standing at intersections – They may be innocent but perpetrators mix with these people while waiting for an opportunity to pounce.

reverse-from-obstacles

If you encounter obstacles such as rocks or tyres do not get out of your vehicle to remove them -immediately reverse and drive off in the opposite direction.

slow-down-late-at-night

If it’s late at night, slow down well in advance so that the light changes green by the time you reach the intersection.

keep-space-to-get-away

Leave a gap between you and the car in front of you to give you room to escape (i.e. drive away from the scene), if anything should happen. 

be-wary-of-broken-glass

Be especially wary whenever you see broken glass lying on the road. If the pieces of glass are still scattered across the road, chances are that a smash-and-grab occurred just recently.
