If you are parked and sitting in your vehicle alone (especially women) and somebody approaches your vehicle to speak with you do two things before they're near you.
The first is to make sure that all your doors are locked. Then direct them to the passenger side of the car where you can keep the person some distance from your face. Then make sure the window is opened just enough to speak to them -- not wide open.
Remember you are a sitting duck in your car. It is easy for somebody to try and stab you or grab you by the throat and you're in a very awkward position to respond quickly to any attack. So open the windows just a little. Also. start and keep your car idling when speaking to the stranger -- with the car in gear and your foot on the brake in case you have to leave quickly.
