![Photo: THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. it may save a life.)
Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.
POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

Learner's Licence Classes
Learner's License Classes
Our Learner's License Classes is an interactive electronic publication of the South Africa K53 Driver education material featuring 3D simulations as well as all learner driver contents to our new learner driver's and what they need to pass their South African Learner's and Driver's License test first time.
This electronic program fully illustrate and explain in detail the meaning of all South African rules of the road, road signs, signals and road markings, vehicle control, defensive driving and all about the K53 system.
Too pass any test you must prepare well. The learner's license and K53 driving license test are no exception. This is why it is important to prepare properly, using the best teaching material available.
The Spokesperson for Traffic Services, Searle Johannes, said poor training and lack of preparation were the main reasons for the low pass rate in the province. The test has rigid guidelines against which the applicants are assessed. These guidelines are provided by the national Department of Transport and are applicable nationally.
Quite a number of people have the attitude that driving is simple and as soon as they have mastered the principle of clutch control they believe they will pass the test, which is far from the truth. First of all you need to get your Learner's License, which is not easy. There is no easy way out, we all have to go threw the correct and same procedure.
Too many are seeking illegitimate means of getting their licenses and these individuals are presenting a risk to all other road users. Too many users need to go back and redo the Learner's and/or Driver's Test. Due to not understanding the meaning of the unknown or simply because they studied from a manual or DVD that just gave them the raw facts with-out-explaining the information in an easy-to-understand way.
Learner's License Test: some reasons why people fail:
An over-confident attitude, thinking you only need to know what a few road signs mean, and believing the rest is just common sense. "WRONG"!! There are many road signs, and some of them have meanings you would not know unless you had studied them thoroughly and the rules of the road are many and detailed.

3. Statistics shown: License / Learner Applications
This was a pass rate of 39.3%
3.1) there had been 1.95 million applications for learner's licenses of which 1.07 million had been issued or a pass rate of just more than 55%
3.2) 1.2 million Applications for driving licenses had been made during 2006 and 474 320 had been issued.
4. Discovery:
4.1) The Western Cape's pass rate is 35.13% while applicants in Gauteng have been the most successful with a pass rate of 46.58%. The poorest pass rate is in the Free State which is 31.23%
4.2) The Spokesperson for Traffic Services in the province, Searl Johannes, said poor training and lack of preparation were the main reasons for the low pass rate in the province.
4.3) Johannes said applicant were often in the driver's seat of their test vehicle for the first time when doing the test.
4.4) The test has ridged guidelines against which the applicants is assessed. These guidelines are provided by the national department of transport and are applicable nationally.
4.5) Quite a number of people have the attitude that driving is simple and as soon as they have mastered the principle of clutch control they believe they will pass the test, which is far from the truth.
Too pass any test, you must prepare well. The learners license and K53 driving license test are no exception. This is why it is important to prepare properly, using the best teaching materials available.
5.1) Can we assist our new learner driver's with information that could help them in preparing for this test? "YES"!! Our classroom is an interactive electronic publication of the South African K53 Drivers education material, featuring 3D simulations, as well as all learner driver contents which our new learner driver's and students will need to pass their South African learner's and/or driver's license test first time.

Driver's License test: some reasons why people fail:
Driver's License test: some reasons why people fail:
7.1) An over-confident attitude, assuming that as long as you can use the vehicle controls to drive, steer, stop and park, you're home and dry. "WRONG"!! The K53 testing system places a lot of emphasis on a special system of defensive driving. The K53 procedures differ from manoeuvre to manoeuvre. To learn about these K53 procedures you need to attend our classroom so that you know, in theory, what you must do during the test. Then learn how to put that understanding into practice by taking driving lessons.
7.2) Not understanding that the days are over when mom or dad could teach you to drive. At some stage of your preparation you will need to take driving lessons with a suitably qualified and registered driving instructor.
7.2a) The knowledge you gain from our classroom will also help you assess whether you are getting your money's worth and whether the instructor has a good knowledge of the K53 system and the test system.
7.3) Nervousness/anxiety during driving lessons and then while doing the driving test. Most students are nervous during the test. A lot is at stake - the costs paid so far and the fear of having to pay more and do the test over at a later date; whether or not you will have the freedom of "wheels" after the test - for your own transport to and from work, or for recreation, for your job, and so on. But, just like with the learner's license test, you can reduce anxiety to a larger extent.
7.4) Should you want to take the tight steps. Here are suggestions; - Attend our classroom, and learn exactly what the test covers and how you will be scored. This will reduce the extent of the unknown, and it will help you know what you need to practice while you are learning to drive.
2. Where did the content for the Driver's section come from?
2.2) The content in the Driver's section is based on the Department of Transport. The module Step and Module Notes is the overviews are taken word-for-word from the DoT materials, but other descriptions and additional comments are our own, and once again any errors or omission are ours. The overview of the Official Driving is based on the same materials, and the specifications for the yard test are reproduced exactly. Permission to re-use road signs, signals, and marking images is also from the DoT. We'd like to thank the Department of Transport for their helpful co-operation, but make it clear that we do not represent them, nor do they necessarily endorse this product.
Road Safety in South Africa requires that we have legally licensed drivers on the roads. We approached our expert on Arrive Alive with regards to the K53 and Licensing - Gavin Hoole.
A special thanks to Advocate Johan Jonck, for his tireless campaigning for road safety in South Africa, for his advice, guidance and support, and for his amazing voice.

Why do some people fail their Learner's License Test?
Why do some people fail their Learner's License Test?
Leaner's license test: some reasons why people fail:
6.1) An over-confident attitude, thinking you only need to know what a few road signs mean, and believing the rest is just common sense. "WRONG"!! There are many road signs, and some of them have meanings you would not know unless you had studied them throughly. And the rules of the road are many and detailed.
6.2) Not understanding the information clearly. This can happen through no fault of your own, but simply because you studied from a manuaal or DVD that just fave you the raw facts, without explaining the information in an easy-to-understand way. or it could be that you ran out of time and did a quick swot of the information without really engaging your brain in regard to the understanding of what you were learning.
Our Classroom does indeed give you the understanding you need so that you can answer any question no matter how it is worde in the official test - because you truly know the work.
About our Classroom:

Where did the content for our electronic Classroom come from?
Most of the content in the Learner's section is based on the National Road Traffic Act of South Africa. Although we have obtained permission to reproduce the act (Copyright Authority No. 11363 dated 03 october 2006), in this version of our Classroom we have not reproduced any materials from the Act directly. All interpretation of the Act are our own, and we do not claim to represent the Goverment in any way, nor are they responsible for errors or omissions on our part.
