If Cops Demand Your Window Down, DO THIS...

[Staph]

17. The exception to everything he said....

is if you are a woman, driving alone.

I was told by a sheriff's daughter some advice from her old man. If you are a woman driving alone, especially at night, and you see flashing lights directly behind you, turn on your flashers and drive to the nearest populated area - a gas station, a store parking lot, whatever. If you know where there is a nearby police station, go there.

Turning on your flashers says "I see you". Going to a populated space may keep you from getting raped or worse.

That advice is 30 years old, but I still think about it when I see a police car coming up behind me. Thankfully, I've never had to use it.
