Safety Tips When Driving Alone

Let’s discuss cruising safely on the road, having an enjoyable drive while at the same time staying secure. Here are some ideas to keep you feeling empowered and safe every mile of the way:

Car Care: Treat your vehicle like a friend. Regular maintenance is key—stick to that schedule and keep your ride in tip-top shape.

Pre-Drive Check: Before hopping in, look inside your car. Especially at night, check the front and rear seats of the vehicle.

Lock & Roll: Once you’re in, lock those doors and roll up those windows. Safety first, always.

Park Like a Pro: Bright lights, big safety! When the sun goes down, aim for well-lit spots. Even parking garages that have an attendant.

Phone Power: Keep that cell phone and charger by your side.

Horn Honcho: Feeling uneasy? Don’t hesitate to give that horn a lean into. Your car has a voice, too. Be aware of your surroundings and who is nearby.

Key Strategy: Grip those keys and fob firmly while walking to and from your vehicle.

Bag Buddy: Keep your bag close to your side, drape it around your neck, use a fanny pack, secure under your jacket, or leave it at home.

Fuel Full: Keep that gas tank at least halfway full or more when driving by yourself.



Stay Alert: If someone is signaling to you, do not pull over. If you are concerned for their well-being, call 911 and advise the authorities of the situation.
