Frequently Asked Questions

How can drivers minimize risk when arriving home?

Prioritize automatic garage door openers to reduce time in exposed 'transitional spaces.' If a manual door is required, be hyper-vigilant and ready to execute a rapid vehicle entry and escape protocol.

What is the recommended vehicle entry procedure during a potential threat?

The optimal sequence is: get in the vehicle, immediately lock the doors, start the engine, put it in drive, and escape the area. Locking doors is the first critical barrier.

What tactical decision did the driver make to ensure her safety?

The driver correctly prioritized her immediate physical safety by using her vehicle's mobility to escape the danger zone, even though it meant leaving her garage door open.
