How to Keep Yourself Safe:
The first rule of thumb is never to trust someone driving a Mustang Mach-E. That is not a real Mustang. All jokes aside, it looks more like a Kia Sorento, according to the photos, but it’s rarely a good sign when someone pulls up next to you while you’re alone. So, here are a few tips to keep yourself safer in potentially hazardous situations.
You do not owe strangers anything. If you feel something is off, get out of there and always be aware of your surroundings. When someone pulls up in a car, always make sure there’s at least an arm’s length distance between you and the vehicle so you can make any necessary moves.
When you’re walking into a bathroom, room, or the street alone, be aware of those around you. If you are approached by a stranger who could pose a threat, don’t act afraid, but instead, display a sense of strength to show them you could be a threat.
