Note: The area northeast of Harmon<br />
and Koval has had increased gang<br />
activity of late and should be avoided<br />
or at least approached with caution.<br />
DRIVING SAFETY Driving safety<br />
is important too, and carjacking is not<br />
unprecedented. Question your rental<br />
agency about personal safety and ask for<br />
a traveler-safety brochure when you<br />
pick up your car. Obtain written directions—or<br />
a map with the route clearly<br />
marked—from the agency showing<br />
how to get to your destination. (Many<br />
agencies now offer the option of renting<br />
a cellphone for the duration of your car<br />
rental; check with the rental agent when<br />
you pick up the car. Otherwise, contact<br />
InTouch USA at & 800/872-7626 or<br />
www.intouchusa.com for short-term<br />
cellphone rental.) And, if possible,<br />
arrive and depart during daylight hours.<br />
If you drive off a highway and end up<br />
in a dodgy-looking neighborhood, leave<br />
the area as quickly as possible. If you<br />
have an accident, even on the highway,<br />
stay in your car with the doors locked<br />
until you assess the situation or until the<br />
police arrive. If you’re bumped from<br />
behind on the street or are involved in a<br />
minor accident with no injuries, and<br />
the situation appears to be suspicious,<br />
motion to the other driver to follow<br />
you. Never get out of your car in such<br />
situations. Go directly to the nearest<br />
Tips Travel-Document Tip<br />
Be sure to keep a copy of all your travel papers separate from your wallet<br />
or purse, and leave a copy with someone at home should you need it<br />
faxed in an emergency.
