What do you keep in your car to help protect yourself in case of danger?

[Ksyder]

I'll go with probably a less than obvious reply of gun/knife...

Seat belt cutter+window breaker.

I keep one as well. Hope I never have to use it.

So does the manufacturer.

Dbl barrel sawn-off.

 

[PliotronX]

cell phone

because the cops will always protect me

In Chicago and NY that's the best you've got. Works dandy every single time.

Pretty sure those window breakers don't actually work; i.e. you need to be the hulk to use one to actually break glass.

Unless guys on motorbikes are chasing you

 

[JulesMaximus]

Common sense.

I don't drive to shady areas. Never felt I needed a weapon in my entire driving life.

Pretty much this. :thumbsup:

 

[PliotronX]

Unless guys on motorbikes are chasing you

Certainly not LOL especially if the police have been instructed not to chase said bikers due to a prior lawsuit.

A low yield tactical nuclear weapon, condoms, and a sprite.

 

[Pocatello]

The best way to protect yourself is quite boring. Use your head, head butting your attackers!

Oh yes they do. :sneaky:

 

[WilliamM2]

How reliable is this? The unmarked cop can easily chase you first with naked eye (already screwed) then use radar.

Just don't speed. This isn't being an internet snob- it just saves you guaranteed money and headache than using radar.

It isn't for speeding, it's for momentary lapses of attenon. They will write you a ticket for 5 over here, guaranteed. It's a revenue stream.

And it's very reliable, most of them are too lazy, and just leave the gun on all the time, not instant on.

they do. Car windows aren't normal "glass", they're designed to crack/shatter gracefully into a million pieces and all it needs to get started is is sufficient pinpoint force. The point of this isn't to break open your window like a sledge hammer, it's to shatter it enough so that you can kick it out in the event of an emergency.

If it's a real one with a hardened tip and weight, it will easily.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Two snow brushes, in case one breaks and I'm not done taking snow off the car and I'm in the middle of nowhere. Oh and booster cables, always good to have.

 

[Scotteq]

A case of nuclear halitosis

 

[wischeez]

Attack trained Yak

 

[Thebobo]

I carry one of these for personal protection.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Condoms.

 

[Nintendesert]

Joining the bandwagon of the influx of "what would you do scenario" threads.

me - I always have a spare knife in each of my cars but other than that I don't carry during the week because I can't bring it into work.

&go

I keep a fire extinguisher in case of a car fire and some extra water in case I have radiator problems in the desert.

There is no greater honor than victory. ()
