If my attacker wants me to get into a vehicle, what should I do?

Steve Bending (DSI) gives expert video advice on: If someone attacks me, how can I defend myself?; If someone takes my wallet or handbag, what should I do?; If someone takes my mobile phone what should I do? and more...

I think if it's got to a position where you're being forced, potentially, into a vehicle, you try to prevent the situation from escalating. You haven't succeeded, and you're now at the point where someone's potentially going to put you in a vehicle. You're at significant personal risk if you do end up getting into that vehicle, so I think at this stage you need to consider, if you can, seriously resisting getting into the vehicle. So, to do that would involve making as much noise as you could and, potentially, if the situation has escalated that seriously, it would involve some form of reasonable defence by resisting that individual and taking all the steps you can to not get into the vehicle.
