Safety Tips for Women Options

[Bringer_Of_Death]

I think one way to deal with criminals on bikes is to run past them in the opposite dirction. When they turn back in your direction, you just stop and run the opposite way again. Keep doing it untill they give up or someone arrive and scare them away.

Nah that won't do.

What you should do is dodge aside when he's coming at you and jam a pole or a large brance at the bike wheels.

After that you can sit back and relax and enjoy some high flying entertainment.

are you serious?..wont that tire you?(whoever thats running) and the guy might just run instead of still stupidly riding the bike..and keep chasing u while u kinda run on the same spot 

That strategy is for energetic girls only.

Anyway, the only reason a bike goes for a woman is to get her bag. If they catch up with you on foot or by bike, just throw away the bag over a fence or into the bushes like I advised earlier.

you cant sit back and relax when someone is going to cut off your throat if they dont get what they want bro

yeah..giving up the bag is kind of a good tactic to save yourself..but..emm..for me..well..i rather stay with the bag and run..cos its your bag man..my mom or dad would have bought it for me

[Iron Malayan]

Throw the bag over a fence and then run. They'll have no more reason to chase you. Then you can come back to ask for the bag from the property owner.

[Bringer_Of_Death]

Well that would work if the property owner is nice enough.

[Iron Malayan]

Its much better to take your chances with the property owner than the scumbag biker.

[Bringer_Of_Death]

Yeah true but I bet that scumbag biker will brutally hurt the victim if that manage to piss him off.

[Iron Malayan]

Thats why you should run after throwing away the bag.

[Bringer_Of_Death]

Yeah run like duh!

The scumbag is on a bike and you're on your own feet.

The guy will probably roll over you unless you manage to leap over a ditch,drain or fence.

EXACTLY

im getting tired reading you guys mention the word running all the time...puhh puhh puhh...

[Iron Malayan]

I think its better for women to go around with their own vehicles instead of public transport.

Those who can't afford cars can buy scooters.

Buses are very inconvenient and their service sucks.

[yana19384]

but i like trains..or whatever u call them..they are cool..neat and stuff..

[yana19384]

oh and yeah...i duntmind a scootie..ive always wanted to have one...and paint it with cartoon characters or anime...wahhh....lor butterfly...wahhhh...i think i'll have that once im in melaka..hehehe

I would like to recommend some countermeasures against abductions by public transport drivers and snatch thefts.

ABDUCTION AND RAPE BY TAXI OR BUS DRIVERS.

APPROACHED BY SNATCH THIEVES.

Thanks to Iron Malayan for the tips.

Here are some of mine.

I've read a lot of stories on abduction and rape by taxi drivers. I admit that I am paranoid whenever I ride a cab all alone.

1) Take cabs which are part of a company known to you, for example, Comfort or whatever agency there is out there.

2) When inside a cab, make a phonecall to someone close to you. Let the cab driver know that someone is expecting you and knows that you are inside the cab. If you are very afraid, take down the cab number plate and the name of the driver and send it to that someone. Tell them on the phone that you are going to send it to them.



I am quite ashamed of the number of snatch thieves incident in the Klang Valley. I have been a victim of one during broad daylight and just a few houses away from my house. Fortunately, I had my wallet and house keys in my hand at that time. However, my mobile phone and some other documents were in there. Here are some precaution measures.

1) Always walk on the opposite of the traffic flow. Snatch thieves usually snatch from behind. By walking opposite, you can watch for incoming motorists.

2) Sling your bag on the opposite direction of the traffic. This will reduce the probability of your bag being snatched.

3) Keep your bag close to you.

4) Try to keep some of your valuables elsewhere. Eg. If you are carrying a lot of money, keep some in your pocket.

5) Do not travel by foot. :P

Honestly, these thieves are so quick!! In a blink of an eye your valuables are gone!

However, remember in the end, safety is your priority. If your life is at risk, it is wiser to give up on your valuables.

Also, report all incidents to your local police station and to your local community (Eg. the Rukun Tetangga). Be aware of high crime rate areas and your surroundings.

Honestly I am quite paranoid. ;p

Also ladies, try not to drive home late at night. Hehe.

bring a small bazooka in your purse. It seems to work.

[yana19384]
