Top tips to help avoid a hijacking



1. When approaching your vehicle get your key ready but not visible. Unlock your car when you are close to the door.
2. Check the rear seat for someone hiding before getting into your car.
3. A maintained car is less likely to break down and leave you vulnerable.
4. Let someone know what your route is and eta of destination.
5. Always check the rear-view mirror to see if you are followed. 
6. Avoid driving with open windows and keep the doors locked.
7. Keep all valuables out of sight. 
8. Avoid being distracted while driving ie using your cellphone.
9. If you suspect you are being followed, drive to your nearest police station or a busy public area.
10. When approaching a red traffic light, slow down so that you only reach it when it turns green.
11. Make sure your driveway is well lit and clear of bush/shrubbery. 
12. If possible, park in a central, well-lit place, preferably with guards on duty.  When stopping behind another vehicle, leave half a vehicle length in front so you can make an emergency escape if necessary.
13. Change your routes and your schedule if possible on a regular basis. 
14. Make arriving at your destination safer by calling ahead and asking someone to open and close your gate for you.

Maybach Exelero

It is said to be one of the most expensive cars. The Maybach Exelero makes its appearance under Honorable Mentions due to its one-off status. The Maybach was also built way back in 2004, but that actually makes its price more impressive. Adjusted for inflation, the Exelero would cost around $10.1 million in the U.S. today, which is close to the GDP of a small island nattion. The two-door further justifies its cost with a 700 hp, twin-turbo V12 and luxurious amenities.
