Beware - Lonely Driving May Prove Dangerous

Increasing crimes against women

There is no doubt that despite all the efforts and awareness programs by governments and NGOs we have not been able to curve this social evil against women of our country especially in some particular parts and in general all over India. Women are not safe on roads, while traveling in public transports or private vehicles. The bad elements are at large and there is an immediate need to train women to protect themselves from such activities. I would like to put a few points here for the women who drive their own vehicles-

Precaution is must- You must know well about necessary checks before starting your car like you should see that your wheels are in proper shape, you have a stepney in case you get a flat tire on the way. You must check break oil, coolant and fuel before commencing your journey.

Regular service- You should have your vehicle serviced regularly as per prescribed by the company to keep it in good shape and trouble free. Keeps a close watch on undesired sounds coming from any part of the car as that is indicator of a fault. Breaks need to be checked occasionally.

You must know to change tires- It is one of the worst problems faced by every woman while traveling alone because a lonely woman finds it tough to do it. Therefore, this is advisable to train it first thing if you want to drive safely.

Parking places- Never park your car in an isolated or dark parking area but go for paid parking. Never park your car near commercial vehicles because you may come across bad elements in such places.

Be careful- Keep your car firmly locked and key in place. You can have pepper spray as a safety measurement. You can also use an iron rod for your self-safety nearby.

GPS system- If you install GPS system in your vehicle that would enable you to search your desired routs without having to enquire from unknown persons.

Stay away from strangers- It is not safe to mix-up with strangers while traveling in an unknown territory. Never try to stop on way for strangers because that is one of the most common ways of road hold up.

Keep your relatives informed- If you out on a tour keep your house posted about your whereabouts also if you find any suspicious activity around, do not hesitate to call police.
