If your car door starts behaving unusually, follow these steps to protect yourself:
1. Inspect the Passenger-Side Door Handle
If your key won’t turn or the door won’t open, check the handle on the passenger side. Look for small objects—like a penny or piece of plastic—that may be lodged in the mechanism, preventing it from functioning properly.
2. Stay Aware of Your Surroundings
Always remain alert. If you notice anything suspicious or feel uncomfortable, trust your instincts. Don’t hesitate to seek help or contact someone you trust. If you’re in a parking lot, consider returning to a well-lit, busy area or asking security for assistance.
Staying calm and cautious can help prevent a potentially dangerous situation.
