Club Torrevieja’s Driver Awareness Program
Torrevieja’s original international classic car club, Club Torrevieja, is continuing its Driver Awareness program with a timely reminder of how drivers, bikers and road users can stay both safe and secure this summer. Many times, especially when on holiday, we can relax too much and make ourselves easy pray for opportunist thieves, who are on the lookout for the unsuspecting. Follow these simple, commonsense words of advice and stay secure no matter where you are driving your car these summer months:
DRIVING – PARKING -
Lock your doors, boot and roll up windows when driving or leaving your car
Don't leave handbags in the front or back seats within view
Put all valuables in the boot
Never leave ignition keys in the car at petrol stations or to run into a shop
Never leave the engine running and then exit the car
At night, park your car under a street light or in a locked garage
When you park in a car park, try to choose one with an attendant, or/and is well lit and covered by CCTV.
Never leave behind your mobile phone or Satellite Navigation system in the car.
Only open windows half way if someone asks you to roll down the window, to stop anyone reaching inside the car
Do not keep your car documents in the glove box.
Try to avoid badly lit or quiet roads, especially if they are not roads you normally use.
If detachable, always take the radio faceplate with you
If using a remote wireless central locking system, always double check that the doors have locked before leaving your car unattended.
Report all thefts or lost items to the Police.
