How to avoid carjacking?

First you must know the risk factors and how the criminals act, however there are small things you can do to prevent:

1 - determined walk into the car, ignoring approaches (even to ask for directions)

2 - trust your instincts and if you consider that the situation is threatening, do not hesitate and enter the vehicle, lock the doors and start the vehicle

3 - keep doors and windows closed

4 - when approaching an intersection keep a certain distance that allows you to maneuver the car in case of alarm situation

5 - avoid driving alone

6 - do not stop to watch a stranger's car that has broken down

7 - avoid parking in deserted areas and dark

8 - do not leave valuables on display

9 - keep your car keys separate from the others, since most of the time are the carjackers who take the key from the victim, if they take the wrong one, this mishap can cause them to abort the theft.

10 - use systems to locate the vehicle via satellite, using the GPS systems and also equipment to immobilize the car by mobile phone
