And of course we must be politically correct and not mention the certain demographic that commits crime in the US, including car jacking, out of all proportion to their percentage of the population.
Rule #one. Don’t drive or live where they live.

Erm… If you’re at a busy intersection, don’t run like Hell or else idiot vigilantes will chase and beat you thinking you’re a dead-beat hit and runner who hurt his/her poor passenger. If there are lots of people around, move away from the carjacker but flag down help. Make it immediately known you are a victim. Later the carmaker might try to say you knew each other and sue YOU if you don’t.

My car was car jacked with a gun pointed at my face. “If you don’t give me your keys I will shoot you.”, he said. I gave him my keys and ducked. He took off. Called 911 and later found out he had just shot his girlfriend, and stole my car to eascape the area. He drove to a police station in LA and shot himself twice in my car. The case is now a homicide case and my car is in evidence hold by the Fontana police. The car has so much blood from the shooting and damaged from retrieving a bulletI. I have Nationwide Car Insurance but no car rental ins.they say. My car is being financed, it was brand new when I purchased it. I’m without a car now and police may keep my car indefinitely. Anyone have info on what to do when police haven’t total out my car yet due to investigation and ins. Co won’t do anything until car is released or total out.

In reply to sean. Keep a German Shepard in the back seat and a 1911 in your holster.

I was carjacked by gunpoint! In 2001 I was on my way to work, I stopped at a store parked on side of building. I wasn’t in there 5 min. My mistake is that I didn’t lock my door! Never would have thought that a man would get into the back of my car crouch down and I don’t see him! Once I drove off he pulled the gun around the back of the seat to my side and said drive! So I did !

He forced me to go to an abandon house that looked like people use it to sleep, party and and in my case rape me! He had the gun in my mouth, to my head and said if I didn’t give him oral sex and do it right he would kill me! I went out of my body and thought of my husband and two young children. After he was done he asked me where my car keys were. I said here take them! There were people outside rocking on their porch and not one answered my varies for help? I started to walk and a young girl could tell something wasn’t right and she stopped! She was able to understand rape and took me to a police sub station.while I was talking to police a bank robbery where a man in a mask shot off seven rounds of a gun came over the police radio! They described my car as the car the robber used! I’m glad to say that because I was the only one to see his face, I was able to help Police/FBI find him buy picking him out of six mug shots!!

They found him, gun, money, mask and drugs, he confessed and I didn’t have to go through a trial and he is in Fed. Prison for 33 yrs No Parole ! But I never forget and won’t hardly leave my house and if I do I won’t go anywhere by myself.

Pull your seat belt up tight, aim the passenger side of the car at power pole and floor it. It’s over quick, they are wrapped around a power pole in your back seat and with no fault Canadian car insurance you get a new car. No trial no body, goes to court almost everyone wins. :)

In reply to Desmond.

Wow… where are you driving?
I drove a cab in Los Angeles for almost 10 years back in the 80’s/90’s and only had a gun pulled on me twice. The first time “they” took the money and the car, the second time “he” was stupid enough to draw while I was moving… going ’45 to 0 in point no seconds’ and turning without a seat belt disarms someone quickly.
Besides, if they already have the drop on you while sitting down at a stop, you’re a fool to think you’ll successfully pull your weapon out (if you even have one) before they can pull a trigger. No material item is worth your life, let them have the money and car, as Sean states above, they won’t be going far.
