"Hi this is Casey Atkinson with Willie Driving School here in Logan, Utah. I'm going to talk to you a little bit about how to avoid a car jacking. First things first, stay out of bad areas. If you are driving at night don't go into the slums or you know the ghetto, stay out of those places. When you are driving make sure you lock your doors. And roll your windows up. If someone comes to your car while your car is stopped, and they approach and knocking at the window or whatever don't open your door, don't roll down your window all the way. You may roll it down a couple of inches but not too much. That way it makes it a lot more difficult for them to get inside your car. When you park your car, make sure you park it in a safe place that preferably has a lot of lights. When you leave your car make sure your car is locked and your windows are up. Also if you have any anti theft devices like car alarms make sure those are activated and ready to go."
