  • Are all the doors locked? Can I check the trunk to see if I can get through? When you’re in your car, it doesn’t always mean that every door is secure. And sometimes you aren’t always as locked out as you think.
  • Am I opening the knob or grabbing the handle to open the door hard enough? This might seem trivial, but a lot of people just aren’t using enough force when they try to open their door.
  • Do I know where my spare keys are located? This solves the problem altogether!
  • Should I call a friend or family member? If you need help, give your trusted loved ones a call.
