  In another of my own articles, I talked about how common sense and awareness are two of the most important tools you have in your personal security and safety toolkit. While that article concentrated on staying safe in shopping mall parking lots, here are also some practical tips that you should be practicing when traveling around by car. Don't forget, the first step to help personal safety is prevention and allow me to share more tips to help you out stay safe:
  
  Safety Tip 1) While you are entering your neighborhood or area where you are staying, especially at night time, be aware of when someone is behind people. Are you being followed? This may sound like paranoia, but I know with FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE how important this piece of advice is and why I feel so strongly about knowledge and safety. I was a victim of a robbery in MY OWN FRONT YARD because I DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO WHO WAS BEHIND PEOPLE!!! If you see your car behind you that you are not sure of, DO NOT STOP your house or destination. Drive past to find whether you are really being followed. If you suspect you will be, drive back out to a populated area and see if they keep following you. Look for a fire station, a police station or someplace else that is populated. Still being followed? Call 911 and let them know what is happening and where you are supposedly.
  
  Safety Tip 2) Are you currently involved in a fender bender within a questionable or unpopulated vicinity, particularly a minor collision where you are not at fault? Stay in your car and call 911. If it is a real accident with innocent people, they won't head waiting. If they look dangerous, pull away from these (but stay in the area in case it had been legitimate) and call 911.
  
  Safety Tip 3) Leaving items in your car in plain site is just an invitation to robbers. Especially if you own a convertible! Not only does one lose the item, you lose your roof way too. Take valuables with you or put them inside your trunk out of online site.
  
  Safety Tip 4) Do you live in a cold climate? Don't leave your car warmup in the driveway along with the doors unlocked and you inside the house. Sounds cozy, but how easy are you trying to make that for car thieves?
  
  Safety Rule 5) Another sign for cold climates - carry an emergency blanket, a pair of snow boots and a couple of cans of SlimFast or food supplement inside trunk. Usually the best advice is to stay put if you are stranded on the side of the road in the snowfall. But you may want to have the snow boots if you absolutely have to get out and walk or if you just need to use the outdoor businesses...
  
  Safety Rule 6) NEVER, AT ANY TIME, leave your child in the car unattended while you encounter the store. Not even to your convenience store or your dry cleaner. Seems like too much work to get them out of the car seat? Too bad. Do it now or it's possible you'll regret it later. power toolkit
