An excerpt from “The Blue Book: A Guide to Personal Security “

Motor Vehicles

It is important to consider the security of any vehicles you use regularly; this includes personal and work use. You may wish to consider alternative routes and times for regular journeys to reduce the predictability of your travel routines. Always carry a fully charged mobile phone or a portable power bank/charger as a backup.

Before every journey you should;

• Lock the vehicle doors and boot during your journey. Open windows only enough for ventilation purposes, particularly in town. Keep your distance from the vehicle in front.

• Always check you have the fuel required to complete your journey. Ensure you have adequate breakdown recovery cover.

• If you break down, pull as far off the road as you can and put your hazard warning lights on. Call your breakdown organisation and let them know if you are travelling alone or if you have children with you
