Make yourself a less attractive target

As with many other crimes, proper lighting may be a deterrent for an offender. Drivers should avoid stopping at dark and desolate places where no one can see what is going on. When working at night, drivers should keep the inside of the car well-lit, so it is easy to see what is going on from the outside.

A robber may wait to see how much cash the driver is carrying before attacking. If a driver pulls out a large amount of money, he may be a desirable target. It is important to hide large bills and only keep out enough cash to give change.

Make it more difficult for the robber to attack Make yourself a less attractive target Warn the robber that he or she is being watched Make sure that you, and not the customer, control the situation Protect yourself during the robbery
