Carry a small, visible weapon

You can get a small taser on Amazon for around $20 that will attach to your keychain, has an LED flashlight, and plugs into the wall to charge. I have a small pink one I carry when I walk my dog at night. You can also get a small self-defense spike to put on your keychain. These are legal for you to carry, and simply placing these on your lap when in a vehicle might make a driver think twice before trying anything. If you feel unsafe, keep your hand on your weapon. Make sure, if you have a taser, that it is fully charged before you head out for the night.
