Safety
Tricks
Always take busy roads
especially during odds
hours:
Drive with all your doors
locked and windows rolled up. If
you are being followed on the
road, remember to stay on busy
streets with lots of people
around so that help is imminent
when needed. Parking your car
in isolated places or leaving your
car can be the worst mistake you
can make.

tricks can
assist in
combating
violent criminals. These
tactics and techniques
help guard against ATM
robbery, street robbery,
and workplace crimes.Strike at the nose with the
heel of your palm:
A swift blow to the nose will help
you escape. If your attacker is charging
towards you, hit the nose with the
heel of your palm using all the
strength you’ve got. This will cause
immense pain and will temporarily
disorient them, allowing you time to
call for help or escape.Use Pepper Spray:
This is an effective self-
defence alternative. Some
formulations are powerful
enough to cause tearing,
irritation and even temporary
blindness when sprayed directly
into the eyes. This trick works
best when your attacker is
charging towards you. Keep a
can of pepper spray in your
purse and in the glove
compartment of your car for
emergencies.
