17. If your car is bumped from behind, just wave for the other car to follow yours to a gas station or other busy place before getting out. Again, we suggest that you call the Police even before you get out of the car. You just can't afford to take chances with your car or your life!

18. If you are ever confronted by an armed carjacker--Do Not Resist! Always remember--your car can be replaced. But once your life is gone--it's over forever!

19. Give up your keys or money if demanded without resistance.

20. The very last thing that you want to do is argue, fight or chase the carjacker. You could be seriously injured or killed. So, don't do it--it's not worth it.

21. Never agree to be kidnapped! Either drop the keys or throw them away from the car as far as you can. When the carjacker goes for the keys--get out of there as fast as you can.

22. If you are forced to drive with the carjackers, think about crashing your car near a busy intersection so that bystanders can come to your aid and call the police.

And finally, if you can't avoid a carjacking, call the Police immediately to report the crime. Try to give them as much detailed information as you can for their report.

P.S.

We hope that these tips help you and your family avoid a very dangerous situation!
