1. Vocabulary to be remembered:

Read and translate the text.

If the car breaks down.

If you are unfortunate enough to experience a breakdown you will have to consider your options depending on the location, time of day and pedestrian and vehicle traffic density.

If there are warning signs, you may have enough time to reach a busy public place where you can stop.

If you have a flat tire, think about driving slowly to a safe place to stop. You may damage the tire and wheel rim, but this may be more desirable than compromising your safety.

If it is dark and you breakdown in a very isolated spot, you may have to consider spending the night in your locked car. It is best to plan your travel schedule so you are not driving in remote areas at night time.

Make a judgment depending on time and location whether you consider it safe to leave the car to call for assistance.

If you do not feel it's safe to leave the car and go for assistance, put your hazard lights on and raise the bonnet after checking no-one is about. Wait in your locked car until someone approaches.

Remain in your car if someone offers assistance and speak through a partially opened window. Ask the person to call for help for you.

If no-one stops to offer assistance, you could consider briefly exiting you car, waving down a passing motorist, then returning to your car and locking yourself in.

Do not accept offers of a ride from other motorists.

Even if you do consider it safe to go for assistance, the nearest telephone may be too far away and you may have to rely on another motorist making a call for you.

If you decide to leave the car, lock all doors, take your valuables with you and conceal those too bulky to carry.

Once you have called for assistance you may feel safer where you are than walking back to your car. Try to arrange to be uplifted from that location.

The nearest telephone from where your car breaks down may be at a house. If you decide to approach a private home, stand back from the door once you have knocked. Ask the occupant to call on your behalf and be wary about being invited inside.

Parking your car

Consider the area you are parking in if not returning to your car until after dark. Does the area have adequate lighting?

Avoid, if possible, parking in quiet or isolated areas.

Avoid parking too close to walls, high fences or vegetation, which might provide cover for an attacker.

Be alert when entering car park buildings, basements or other enclosed areas. Try to park near an entrance or exit, ramp or staircase, where there is likely to be a steady stream of activity.

Reverse you car into position so you can drive straight out for a quick exit if necessary.

Before getting out of your car, look around first to check that the vicinity appears safe. If you see any suspicious people loitering nearby, do not get out: Drive to a different location.

Always lock your car when parking and remove valuables. Any items left should be placed out of sight.

Do not leave house keys or papers with personal details in the car, and remove the house keys if handing over the car keys to a parking attendant or other person.

When returning to your car, have the keys in your hand for quick access.

Pause a couple of car lengths from your vehicle, look around and behind you. Make sure there are no suspicious persons lurking nearby in a position to confront you as you open the car door.

Before you open your car door, visually conduct a proper check to make sure no-one is hiding inside, particularly behind the front seats.

When putting packages in the boot, stand side on so you can see anyone approaching from behind. Avoid bending over with your head and body inside the lid of your boot.
