How to lose someonewho is folowing you

If You Are In a Car

1. Determine if you are actually being followed
If you suspect a tail, observe the car as you continue to drive. If the car remains behind you, make three to four turns in a row to see if it continues to follow you. Then signal a turn in one direction but turn quickly in the other direction. See if the other car turns as well.

2. Once you are certain you are being followed, get on a highway, or drive to a populous and active area
Do not drive home, to a deserted place, or down an alley. You are more likely to shake your tail in a crowd than in a deserted area.

3. Drive at the speed limit, or a bit slower
Soon, another car (not that of your pursuer) will attempt to pass you. Spped up slightly so that the car pulls in behind you. Repeat but don't go so slowly that an innocnet car behind you is able to pass you.

4. Slow down at a busy intersection with a traffic light, then accelerate through the intersection just after the light changes
The car following you may get stuck at the red light. If you attract the attention of the police for running a red light, your pursuer will most likely leave the scene

5. When you have several cars around you, speed up, get of the highway (if you are on one), and make several quick turns to further elude your pursuer
Your pursuer should be too far back to follow closely

6. Once you are out of sight of your pursuer, pull into a parking lot, a agrage, or a shopping center with lots of other cars

7. If you stil have not lost your tail at the point, drive to a police station and get help

If You Are On Foot

1. Determine if you are being followed, and identify your tail
Take a random path: Make unexpected changes in direction at intersections and retrace your steps, effectively making a U-turn. Do not however, get yourself disorientated or lost. Note any identifying characteristics of your tail (dress, gait, height and weight)

2. Keep and eye on your persuer but do not look back at him/her
Use reflective surfaces such as shop windows to see behind you. If you have a makeup case with a mirrow, use that.

3. Stay in crowds
Do not head for home, to a desterted place, or down alleys

4. Once you are certain that you are being followed use these methods to shake your tail:
