This is how you compose yourself before getting into any vehicle ( public transportation, new friends car, etc.). The aim here is to be aware of the possible dangers when in a vehicle; what we encourage is how o position yourself, what signs to look out for and how to best deal with a situation when faced with it. We are not advising you to face a gun but we know with the right mental attitude, most situations that occur in a vehicle can be controlled. DLS show techniques that can be used when faced with confrontation in a small confined space of a car, these techniques are effective and used mainly to defuse a situation.
Possible actions to take before getting in a vehicle;
Look out for the boot/truck of the car, there are cases where the driver had an individual that slips into the back seat or waits for the diver to go down a lonely road.
Always sit in a position that allows you see what the driver is doing
Always make sure all doors are shut and windows up to a certain degree, not to disturb circulation but to prevent anyone from opening the door.
Always make sure someone else knows you are in that vehicle
When you are in the vehicle, even if you are reading a book, always look up and make conversation with the driver.
Always know your route and best way of getting there
If you are faced with a deadly weapon always wait for the right/opportuned moment to execute defense
Always keep belongs on the floor of car, never in sight for anyone to grab
