There are a lot of deserted and creepy roads where i'm from, and one of my biggest fears is getting stranded at night. I don't know next to anything about cars...so if stranded, could I call the police to come and help me? I think I will invest in Road Side Assistance eventually...but what about when waiting on them to come? I've dealt with them before, and places like Triple A take FOREVER.

IF YOU EVER BREAK DOWN EVEN DURING THE DAY........DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR!!!
Lock your doors, roll up the windows, call 911. They will dispatch someone out to your general location. Give them any info that can help them identify where you are. Name of road, mile markers, exit signs, landmarks, etc.
Ask the dispatcher to give you the name of a tow truck company from that area as well. Call them next.
WHEN PEOPLE STOP TO ASK IF YOU NEED HELP, CRACK YOUR WINDOW SLIGHTLY, AND TELL THEM NO, THANK YOU THE POLICE ARE ON THEIR WAY!!
Even if the person looks nice, DO NOT allow them access to you or your vehicle!!
Oh, and if someone approaches you and they wont take no for an answer, call 911 back and stay on the phone with them until the person leaves, or the police show up!

Yes you can call the police. That's what we are there for is to help. I don't know about other states, but in Texas, on the back of your drivers license is a 800 number to Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) for emergency road side assistance. Always remember to keep your doors locked, windows up, and turn on your hazard lights. Hope this gives you some peace of mind.

The first thing you do, if you are stranded, lock your car doors and roll up your windows, call Police, if someone in the mean time stops, do not open your window or door, tell them that you called Police already. Hope it never happens to you, but you are correct to be concerned. Another solution would be to avoid driving at nights. Make sure you carry something to protect yourself with.

First of all all women should KNOW not to take deserted roads that are not heavily traveled home or anywhere. If your afraid of something happening, stay off the road late at night. Invest in buying a newer car that is under warranty

Never drive alone late at night on a deserted road stay in the city or a place that is familiar with you and call your family/friends and tell them where you are and where your headed and what's your eta. Carry a cellphone & get a thing like on-star that is found in new vehicles. That service is now carrying a phone service.

Stay inside the car, and wait for help from police, or other help which you are reasonably sure is legitimate. If you have to talk to anyone, roll the window down about a half inch so that they can hear you, and you them.Never get out of the car, until you feel reasonably safe with the situation.

I think in your case the most important thing to remember is to communicate with others. By that I mean when you leave to go home, let them know that you will call them when you get home. Assuming you have no cell phone, let them know the route you will be traveling. If you do have a phone, the best thing to do is to lock doors, call for help, wait, and let NO ONE in. Should someone stop, just wave them off and tell them that help is already on the way--and then wait. Waiting 'forever' is better than being dead - 'forever'. You choose. All we can do is to try to be smart about where we go, what we say and who we say it to.

Best advise would be to call the police and explain the situation. They will come if they are not too busy. I would reccommend keeping some pepper spray in your car and your doors locked. If the police come up behind you they will approach with warning lights. Do not leave your car for any reason and try to keep yyour calm.

lock your car doors and call the police. While your waiting call a friend or family member. If someone comes who wants to kidnap you or something, theyre not going to do it if they see you are talking to someone on the phone (thats what i do when im walking alone at night) If someone comes who says they want to help dont unlock your doors, roll down your window just an inch and tell them thank you but the police are on their way. Bad people might try to gain your trust by offering to help so DONT unlock your doors untill the police arrive.

I have always liked younger women. My parents had a 12 year age gap and they are still married going on 44 years now. Now do i believe younger women can love an older guy. Well it depends on th epurity of their love for him. If they are good women from inside their hearts of course they can, but if they have hidden intentions then they will never be able to love anyone but themselves. My answer is it depends on the womans heart because true love originates from there.
