Recently, there was a disturbing incident on a flyover in Hangzhou where a Bentley driver assaulted a BMW driver with a weapon, drawing significant attention. According to official reports, the Bentley driver has been arrested.
If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, what should you do? How can you ensure your safety by properly setting up your vehicle?
Automobile blogger "Second Brother" uses BMW vehicles as an example to illustrate the correct methods of setting up your vehicle.
Firstly, when faced with such a situation, remember not to exit your vehicle. But how can you ensure you don't exit the vehicle? If someone outside the car confronts you, the first thing to do is to lock your car immediately.
If you're worried about forgetting to lock your car, many vehicles come with a setting in the unlock/lock options called "unlock after trip ends" or "unlock when in park mode" (some cars combine these into one option). Make sure to turn this off.
As long as your car is locked, it's difficult for outsiders to gain access. Car window glass is very sturdy, and without specialized tools, it's hard for someone to break it quickly. This gives you ample time to sound the alarm and gather video evidence if needed.
One netizen commented, "Ever since my i3, my cars have always been set up this way. At first, I found it annoying having to manually unlock it each time, but now I see it can really be a lifesaver in critical moments."
