With so many people going out at night during this time of year, I want to remind everyone of a simple habit that could save your life—checking the backseat before getting into your car. We see it all the time in movies and on T.V.; a person is in a rush or has something on his or her mind and just opens the car door, climbs behind the wheel and turns the key right before a friend, foe or even a maniac jumps up from behind. I’m always surprised, and mad, when this happens because checking the backseat is such a simple thing to do. I can’t remember the last time I got in a car when I didn’t look in the backseat. I even check the backend of my regular-cab truck before getting behind the wheel, even knowing that it wouldn’t be a good idea for someone to hide back there (think hard acceleration with a brake slam). Before heading out this year for shopping, dinner or a family gathering, make a conscious decision to pay attention to your surroundings, particularly to the backseat of your car.
