Noise. In addition to going all psycho on them and lashing out like a fiend, make as much noise as you can to attract attention. Even if it’s just someone bothering you or a stranger getting way too close in a bar or movie theatre or walking down the street, any place where there are other people. If there aren’t any people where you are, change your route to head to the nearest crowd, or police station, or store. But yell and scream your head off, and say what’s happening (“I don’t know you, why are you following me?” “Get your hands off me!”—-Things like that).They’re banking on you being too embarrassed or scared to speak up, or you just wanting to get home, so yell your head off and fight like hell! Also, the thing about crashing the car if someone is making you drive to their preferred place—-crash it into the most public place you can. The middle of traffic, a store, a crowded street. Just be sure and try not to hurt anyone else—-or yourself—-when you do it. I mean, if you’re going to try to run a red light and have another car run into you, make sure they’re going to T-bone your car on the side where the kidnapper is sitting so they take the brunt of the collision and get pinned in or too hurt to move (or most preferably, BOTH), but you can get out of the car on your side. I like the idea of trying to get some of their DNA under your fingernails. In any scenario, if you can get a good deep scratch that puts blood and/or skin under your nails, it’s really definitive evidence who it was who attacked and/or tried to kidnap you. It’s likely these days that, if they’ve attempted this crime (or worse, succeeded) in the past twenty years or so, they and their DNA are in the database—-and they will be caught.

Scream bloody murder, fight/bite/kick, do not worry about causing a scene, but TRAIN. That way your shock wont' freeze you up. Please. Train. Run the drill by yourself if you hvae to, but please, do. It's like fire drills. Be insaner than you think you could ever be. Just In Case. Good self-defence instructors will run you through real-life scenario drills as "graduation". Parking garage, dark street, crowds, whole nine yards.
