Get information from the Students’ Union Council on recommended options for safe transportation. • Plan your daily routines and avoid having to travel with unnecessary resources or valuables. • Keep family and trusting friends aware of your whereabouts when off campuses. • Make use of Social Media resources if you suspect your safety is about to be compromised when off campus. • At social events, avoid becoming intoxicated and losing self-control. It becomes far too easy to be taken advantage of when you cannot think or act rationally. • If involved in an accident, think clearly, be calm and evaluate the possibilities before alighting from motor vehicle. • When driving, respect the lives of others, be courteous to other road users and avoid speeding or reckless maneuvers.
