II. Read and translate the text “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.
