Questions commonly asked about hijackings, and that are answered during the Hijack Prevention Program, are:

1. Where am I most vulnerable to being hijacked?
2. Is it possible to identify a potential hijacker?
3. If I am hijacked, how do I get out of my car safely?
4. How do I get my children out safely?
5. How do I avoid getting hurt?
6. How do I deal with a situation where I am obviously being followed?
7. What is the safest way to arrive home?

Hijack Prevention Program
South Africa has one of the highest levels of hijackings (also known as carjackings) in the world. Does this mean that we must throw our hands up in frustration, declare the situation as hopeless, and lock ourselves up in our homes. ABSOLUTELY NOT. In the words of Francis Bacon, "Knowledge is power". The TBS Services Hijack Prevention Training equips people with practical knowledge that allows them to move around freely and safely.
