Content: Don’t multitask when you’re heading to the car. If you grabbed cash from the ATM or have a sudden hankering for the last mint at the bottom of your bag, wait until you’re safely inside your car. Distraction isn’t your friend when it comes to safety. Never leave valuables in plain sight. Items like backpacks, purses, laptop cases, or packages should be covered or put in your trunk. Even better, take high-value items with you. Ridesharing tip
When using rideshare services, always verify the vehicle make, model, and color as well as the license plate and driver details before hopping in. 6. Have a plan
Whenever you head out, make sure you know where you’re going and how to get there. A little planning can keep you out of harm’s way so you can enjoy exploring the campus or heading into town.
