Make sure that you have a quality vehicle. If you need to escape you might have to drive at high speed, or even push past (not crash into) a car blocking the road. A rusty old car with a suspect engine might not get you to your meeting, and it certainly won’t get you away from a terrorist attack, (if you are a very high-risk individual, consider taking defensive driving training from the organisationthat exist.)
Get a car with air conditioning if at all possible. That will make it more comfortable when you are driving safely with the windowall shut.

Avoid laying on the floor or near wallif you can, because ricochet gunfire tendto hug walland floors.
