Safety tips

Habits that meaningfully lower your risk. None of these require gear you don't already own.

Keep your phone out of sight in traffic

Most snatchings happen at traffic signals and on bike-side. Don't hold your phone at your ear near a window; use a wired earpiece or speakerphone.

Split your valuables

Carry a small amount of cash accessibly, the rest hidden. Keep one card, not all of them. Photograph your CNIC/ID and store it in cloud email.

Windows up, doors locked, ready to move

At night, treat every signal as pause-not-park. Leave room in front of you at reds so you can pull out if approached.

Prefer busy, well-lit routes

A longer route with more people and light is safer than a shortcut through empty streets, especially after 22:00.

Scan before you stop

Before parking or stepping out at an ATM, take five seconds to look at who is around you. Come back later if something feels off.

Share your live location

On longer or late trips, share your live location with someone you trust. Most phones support 15–60 minute sharing that turns itself off.

If you're being robbed: don't resist. Phones and wallets are replaceable. Comply calmly, then move to a safe place and call 15 (Police) or 1102 (CPLC).
