Just Car Crime

THEFT: It's just hoodlums smashing car windows; stealing vehicle stereos or people's handbags / shopping. Isn't it ...

JOYRIDERS: TWOCing vehicles (Taking Without Owner's Consent) and taking them for a ‘spin' at night, burning them out in football fields or using them for crime, or for spare parts...

VANDALISM: Scratching car paintwork with penknives / screwdrivers; blocking up vehicle exhausts with apples; throwing kebabs onto vehicles parked beside fast-food outlets; chucking stones from motorway bridges; slashing tyres, scratching windscreens with glass cutters ...

DAMAGE: Jumping up and down on your bonnet / roof at night, caving it in; snipping off flexible aerials, pushing matchsticks into vehicle door locks; cutting fuel pipes/spark plug leads; pouring paint on your bonnet; putting iron nails in front of your tyres; setting fire to paper (or fireworks) underneath your fuel tank ...

And Carjacking

Well... if all of THIS isn't enough to be avoiding already, and safeguarding against, how many of us ever consider being CARJACKED whilst entering or leaving our car, or within the supposed safety of our own snug vehicle?

‘The reports in the Press are all exaggerated...’

‘It just doesn't happen here...’

‘It only happens to other people...’

WRONG It could happen to YOU

Carjacking is on the rise - FACT

And it's SERIOUS

Joe Criminal

With low-tech vehicle security devices such as portable steering wheel immobilisers and handbrake immobilisers, and modern technology such as vehicle alarms, ignition immobilisers, computerised keys and tracking devices, ALL becoming standard accessories, how would YOU feel if you were the average Joe Criminal?

Frustrated? Probably.

With these security technologies being popular, criminals are challenged by the trouble they cause for them. Hence, what better way of circumventing security than for the criminal to carry out an act toward the vehicle / yourself, when these measures are deactivated?

Carjacking may seem a clumsy crime method, but it works. It's been used to hijack HGVs and their contents for decades; it stretches far back in time, to criminals stealing aircraft, pirates robbing shipping, and even to wagon trains facing gun slingers and horse-and-carriage pillaging highwaymen (highwaypersons actually... to be politically correct.).

Today's phenomenon is just a new slant on an old trick. But, it's spreading... and that's why you need the ...

It happens

The battered faces and harrowing publicised cases in the Press should be enough already to motivate people, to train in what you are about to learn. But, people generally think it won't ever happen, especially to them. Just as the weekly publicised battered faces of the victims had thought the very same thing, before being attacked.

So, whether it's the opportunist ‘scumbag’ or the planned professional criminal, if you're not keeping an eye open for your own personal security, other eyes may be peering at you, viewing you as a viable target.

What would YOU do if a situation like a Carjacking arose out of the blue?

Panic? Probably.

Drivers' Self-Protection

That's why you need Drivers' Self-Protection.

If you think otherwise, whether man or woman, ask yourself the following hard questions:

Consider being accosted by three men, whilst returning to your vehicle in a well-lit and busy multi-storey car park, in daytime... say, near to a supermarket.
Imagine being Carjacked whilst at traffic lights, when in a hurry, on the way to pick up the kids from school, in the mid-afternoon.
Or, being asked for your cash and mobile phone at knifepoint, whilst you are reversing from your own driveway at 7.15 on a Monday morning.
Or whilst performing a delivery, you suddenly find yourself being screamed at and battered by one assailant, whilst goods are ‘ripped-off’ from the rear of your van by another.
Or being boxed in on a dual carriageway by several vehicles, then forced off the road into an industrial estate, then robbed (or worse).
Or when entering your own vehicle and closing the doors, fresh from an evening's cinema visit, finding a drug-crazed thug lain hidden across the rear footwells (a footwell is where you put your feet) demanding your wallet and/or car from you.
Or when returning to your vehicle after a physical exercise session (your vehicle supposedly safely parked right next to the gym) you find yourself being kidnapped at knifepoint from beside your vehicle, then being bundled into a van; then being gang raped (whether you're female or male) or being carted off in your own vehicle to a secondary crime scene for the same treatment.
Or, whilst collecting your car from a drinking / work / holiday venue from the night before, you arrive there on an innocent and fresh summer morning, get into your vehicle, shutting your vehicle door, winding down the window for fresh air, then... find yourself ‘glassed’ in the face by a passer-by, completely at random, through your open vehicle window, or through the visor of your full-face motorcycle helmet if collecting a bike.
Or, pulling over to help a lone woman who is seemingly stranded with a vehicle at the roadside, only to then find yourself punched to the ground by a hidden male accomplice... having your own vehicle and its contents taken, and the other vehicle speeding off as well.
Or, whilst driving along peaceably and feeling a slight bump to your vehicle rear, you check your mirrors to notice the vehicle responsible and pull over, to inspect the damage; but... then find yourself held at gunpoint, facing yelled demands for your personal property and vehicle keys, by two of the four occupants of the other vehicle.

NOT VERY NICE, IS IT.

The list of possibilities goes on, and on... and what's worse: things similar to these examples have actually happened, and on a regular basis. The additional sad fact of the scenarios listed is that ALL of the suggested altercations were most likely avoidable.

Stay safe with Drivers' Self Protection

Essential Information

Drivers' Self-Protection demonstrates how making simple, small adjustments to our awareness levels when driving or when parked, or when approaching / departing from a vehicle on foot, or by wheelchair etc., could help to save us from becoming the next Carjacking statistic.

This is NOT a Martial Arts course; nor is it a physical self-defence course; nor an armed services evasive driving course... although, many elements are derived from the same. Some of the techniques offered within this course are taught to security professionals. This course provides the essence.

All of the techniques contained in Drivers' Self-Protection are part of a raft of sensitivity drills, designed to improve conscious/unconscious alertness, not only relating to your surroundings whilst mobile, static or on foot, but also regarding journey preparation and disembarkation.

Get personal about safety

Drivers' Self-Protection is about personal security, i.e. avoidance - a PREVENTATIVE skill. The techniques are practical to use and straightforward to internalise and retain, regardless of demographic. Once practised and internalised, the techniques offered here can become part of your normal vehicular routine.

FACT: The Highway Code (UK) (at the time of writing) doesn't teach you the specialist personal security skills you will find within this course. And generalist advice from Police Crime Prevention Units and The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) (at the time of writing) of keeping vehicle doors locked and windows closed isn't quite enough to avoid Carjackings.

The neglect of education in this area of personal security contributes significantly to the number of victims of Carjackings occurring weekly. And with Carjackings increasing in frequency and becoming more intrusive and violent, drivers need to know how to reduce risks... and reduce them FAST.

Drivers' Self-Protection teaches you how.

Don't take a chance

What follows is a nugget of information coined by a world-class twentieth century Japanese karate instructor. It sums up the essence of this course, and... what you're about to learn:

‘It is better to miss being struck by a blow by ten minutes, rather than to miss being struck by ten millimetres.’

Think about it...

Your investment today may one day save your life, and your property, and the health and lives of your loved ones. Where Carjacking is concerned, a gamble never pays off; and a misjudged reaction could cost your life.
