Whether driving alone or may be with kids or some other partner, a woman must be watchful on the road and follow these given few points to ensure safety.

• Be observant of the vehicles on the road, if finding somebody coming behind you, move to some other road. By taking one or two turns, you would be well aware if the vehicle is really chasing you. Keep noticing the signs on roads, buildings or land marks during any turn you make, so at the end you may not get lost. If the vehicle is chasing you, try moving to some nearby police station but never stop somewhere in the middle.
• Avoid night time driving, especially in places you are not familiar with.
• Keep your cell phone always with you and fully charged.
• If you are going on a long distance, ask somebody to accompany you. Especially, at night time, during late working hours, you must engage the company of someone.
• Must make a kit of essential items such as some dry eatables and water etc. and place that in your vehicle.
• In case of emergency, drive off the road, call police and stay inside until they appear. If someone offers you help, just don’t come out of your vehicle or open the door, but thank him by rolling down your window a little below. You may ask him to call police if you have no phone.
• Never accept any offer of ride from someone, just don’t agree to go with any unfamiliar person.
• Keep your car well-maintained and well- serviced to decrease the chance of any mishap on the way.
• Learn to fix the basic mechanics of car, such as how to jump start the vehicle and how to change a tire, etc.
• Don’t pay attention if somebody tries to get your attention on the road; just avoid looking at that person and anything like exchange of words. Concentrate on your driving and try to move away by taking turn at the coming intersection.
• Don’t play your tape recorder or radio so loud that you can’t hear the noises on the road.
• Never use mobile phone during driving. If there is some emergency, park the car on the side of the road and answer the phone. Otherwise, while travelling within the city it doesn’t take too long to attend the calls or check messages. Reach your destination safely and then answer the person calling, tell him/her that you were driving.

• Keep your car locked as soon as you sit inside or come out of it, keep your windows rolled up in crowded areas, where there are so many people to distract you, even on the road, there is no need to roll down the full windowpane.
• On busy roads, having schools around or other commercial stuff, keep your pace slow.
• Be cautious about your car tires, usually criminals put sharp objects such as nails in front of or behind them, check your car from all sides before sitting in.
