Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important rule of self-defense in a carjacking situation?

The inviolable rule of self-defense is to never allow yourself to be taken to a second location. If a carjacking escalates to a kidnapping attempt, fight back aggressively to prevent relocation, as nothing good will happen if you are taken elsewhere.

When should you comply versus fight back during a carjacking?

In a carjacking with multiple armed attackers, compliance (giving keys) is often the best answer, especially if no family is inside. However, if the situation escalates to a kidnapping attempt, you must fight back vigorously to avoid being taken to a second location.

What are effective tactics for resisting kidnapping?

If attackers try to take you, drop to the ground, use your feet, scream, fight, kick, bite, and use any available tools. The primary objective is to prevent being moved to a secondary location where you are more vulnerable.

What should you do immediately after escaping a violent encounter?

After escaping an attack, immediately run to a safe location. Do not remain in the vicinity, as attackers might return or attempt to run you over. Your priority is to get out of the danger zone and seek help.
