At CoverGirl we like to feel that we’re giving our customers a little bit more than just really cheap car insurance. It’s a sad and unpalatable fact of life that women drivers out alone in their cars are more at risk than a man would be. Really cheap car insurance can give you many things including more money in your pocket, but it can’t keep you safe when you’re driving alone at night.
Tips for staying safe
So we’ve put together a few tips in case the worst happens. Although we would like to stress that it’s still extremely unlikely that anything unpleasant is likely to happen to you, there’s no harm in being prepared is there. So don’t have nightmares…!
Be prepared
Make sure that you plan your journey carefully, especially if you’re travelling some distance. Keep a map in the car and, sorry if this seems obvious, ensure you have enough fuel. You’d be amazed…! Also, it’s a good idea to let someone know your plans and what time you expect to reach your destination. As you’re driving, keep your valuables hidden and the doors locked. There’s not much point in tracking down really cheap car insurance, if you’re going to drive up your premiums by leaving your car full of goodies to tempt a thief.
If you think you’re being followed
This is very unusual, but if you do think that you’re being followed slow down, but don’t stop. Keep going until you reach a well-lit area within sight and sound of other people, and then sound your horn and flash your lights. If this doesn’t get rid of him, then drive to a police station. If you’re not sure where there is one, then drive to a petrol station, and ask an attendant to call the police. However tempting it might be, and however close you are, DO NOT drive home until you’re sure he’s gone.
If you breakdown
As heartless as this sounds, treat any stranger who approaches you offering help as suspicious. Any genuinely well-meaning man will understand your concern and not be offended. Never, ever accept a lift – no matter how nice someone looks. When you call for help, tell the operator that you are a woman alone and they will make you a priority.
