Basic Self Defense Education for Women (34-38)
Cars and vehicles of all types can be one of the most problematic situations for the unprepared woman. There are many potential problems surrounding getting into the car, allowing someone else to get into your car, or when you are attacked in your car. Being prepared for these situations is extremely important because, unlike other situations, you are in a confined area and are less likely to be able to get away without being prepared from the start. The good news is that there are many ways that you can get around and get out of problem situations in this type of environment. Again, you need to be prepared by imagining yourself in these situations and practicing how you will get out of them. Tip 34: Look For Others When Getting On A Bus Whenever you are using public transportation, such as a bus, you need to be prepared. The best route to take to do this is to actually board the bus where there are other people. For example, if you are getting on the bus in a remote area, there could be someone lurking nearby. But, if you were to walk a block down where there is a more trafficked area, you are less likely to find yourself the victim. This is based on the fact that there is safety in numbers. When you have other people around you, you are less likely to fall victim in these situations. Use a bus stop or other type of public transportation methods that are busier than those that are not. Get on them when there is a group of people getting on with you. That way, you know that an attacker is less likely to target you because there are too many around. Tip 35: Sit On the Aisle On The Bus When you are getting onto the bus, stop and look for an aisle seat. This will allow you several key benefits. First, you can easily get out of the way if someone that you would rather not be near approaches you. You can also be in a better position to protect yourself if the attacker decides to sit near you. If you are on the window seat, you are likely to be blocked in. He can easily sit down near you, do what he wants and you have virtually no way of moving to get out of the way. Always choose the easiest route to get out of in order to protect yourself! On the bus, especially when you are alone or with a group of people that may be with your attacker, being able to get away or get the attention of the driver can be difficult if you are pinned to the back of the bus or some place where you can easily be hid. Tip 36: Sit Near the Front If you are on a bus, always sit as near as you can to the exit or by the driver. Sitting behind the driver is an ideal place if you have easy access to getting out of the bus. It can be a problem if the bus driver can not see you or if there is a lot of room between you and the bus exit. In this case, sit next to the exit door just opposite the bus driver. This way, in an emergency, you have the quickest route out of the bus and it is much more likely that the bus driver will hear you call for help should someone approach you. It is also likely that the assailant will not bother with you, because someone else on the bus is likely to be a better, more successful target to them. This is a very important yet frustration situation for many people, but you have to protect you first! Tip 37: On Train and Railways, Sit With Others When you are riding subways, trains or other such situations where you can get into various types of sitting areas, always look for the location that offers other people like yourself. For example, if you are boarding a subway car after work, get in the compartment with others that seem to be doing the same thing. You do not want to be the only person in a car with just a few men or even just one man. Again, company helps protect you from an assailant’s possible attack. One thing to remember here is just how easy it can be to forget that you are in the position you are in. If you do the same thing every single day, you may not even realize that no one else is in that compartment with you. It is also important to realize that the same route home during later hours may not be as crowded and therefore it may not be the best place for you to go to get home. After dark or when there is too little of a crowd, find an alternative means of transportation or ride with someone that you know. Tip 38: Be Careful When Getting Out Of Your Car No matter what time of the day or night it is, it is very important to be aware of your surroundings when you are getting out of your car. When you are getting into or out of your car, pay attention to the surroundings. What numbers of other people are around you? Can you be protected by enough light and crowds? Even in areas where you think that there are a lot of people, for example a shopping parking lot, you are likely not to be in all that safe of a situation. Each year, many women are taken right out of a shopping mall parking lot, even though there are cars and cars around them. How does this happen? It is easy to force a woman into a car when she has already opened the door and is getting into it. No one is likely to hear her or see what is happening. For this reason, it is very important for you to pay close attention to your surroundings when walking to your car. You should park as close to the doors to the location as you can and be sure to have your full attention on what is happening around you. Other problem areas where you need to be careful getting into and out of your car include your home, your place of work or other locations where you are virtually alone. |
