Attacks can escalate quickly and violently if resistance is shown. --- ✅ Personal Safety Tips Whether on foot or driving, always prioritize your safety by following these precautions: While Driving: Keep your windows fully rolled up, especially in traffic. Place all valuables (bags, laptops, tablets) out of sight, preferably in the boot. If charging your phone, store it in the glove compartment or under the seat. While Walking: Avoid holding your phone in your hand, especially after 6:00 PM. Set your phone to silent or vibration mode to reduce attention. Do not use earpieces/headphones in high-risk areas; they reduce your situational awareness. Walk briskly, stay alert, and avoid isolated routes whenever possible. While Using Public Transport: Do not use or display your phone, especially if sitting by the window. Keep your devices out of sight and your focus on your surroundings. --- 🚨 In Case of an Attack If confronted, do not resist. Your life is far more valuable than your phone or personal belongings. Comply quickly and avoid any form of provocation. Once safe, report the incident to the nearest security agency or community watch group. --- 🛡️ Final Note: We live in increasingly desperate times, and our response must be equally vigilant. Prioritize safety, remain observant, and always inform loved ones of your movements, especially after dark. Let’s stay alert, stay alive, and support one another.
