Being Followed on the Highway

In my last blog post I spoke on the issue of situational awareness, which I often do. In this case it involved the issue of locking your car doors while sitting in a public parking lot. In this post we'll discuss the issue of being followed on the highway.

Although it's not everyday that you or I would encounter a mobile stalker, they do exist. If you're a woman, it could be someone who knows of you, someone who has met you somewhere at some time, an ex husband, or someone else. If you're a man, it could be your girlfriend's husband or boyfriend, or perhaps an investigator working for a rival corporation.

In any case, there are things you should do and other things you should not do. The following article provides some helpful tips for those who might one day encounter this kind of problem: (What To Do When You Believe You're Being Followed).

If you would like to go one step further, if you would like to know for sure whether someone is tailing you, take three consecutive right hand turns. If the car behind you is still there when you do this, then they are likely following you. Now, here's the crux, be sure you know the area you are in enough to assure there are three consecutive right hand turns you can take. The last thing you want to do is find out that the first or the second turn is a dead end.

Hope this helps. If you have questions or suggestions related to this subject, or ideas for future blog posts, please send them to allan.colombo@tpromo.com.
