Go out another door immediately if possible. If the kidnapper forces you into the passenger side door in the front of the vehicle, move quickly across the seat and exit from the driver's door, or climb into the back seat of the car and escape from a back door.
Stick something in the ignition before the driver has a chance to insert the key. Use anything you have handy, such as a piece of gum from your mouth, a button off your clothes or a barrette from your hair. Use the distraction to help yourself escape.
Grab the keys out of the ignition and throw them out of a window as hard as you can. Escape from the car while the kidnapper is chasing the keys.
Cause an accident if you are in the front seat of the car. Your chances of being seriously injured in the accident are less than your chances of being hurt by the kidnapper. The accident will call attention to you and your situation. Grab the steering wheel and turn it sharply to the left or right, causing the car to strike another vehicle. Use your foot or hand to push down on the gas pedal and make the car hit the vehicle in front of you. Push down on the brake pedal, causing the vehicle behind you to hit the car that you are in.
Blow the horn on the car and keep blowing it as long as you can to draw attention to the vehicle. Even if this does not save you immediately, it may cause someone to notice the make and plate of the vehicle and possibly call the police if the bystander suspects something is wrong.
Attack the driver from behind if you are put in the back seat of the car. Claw at his face and eyes to force him to stop driving or cause an accident.
Yell, wave your arms, and use facial expressions to signal to other drivers through the window that you are in trouble and in need of help.
Look for an emergency trunk release lever if you are placed in the trunk of a car. Pull the lever to open the trunk and escape.
Kick through the panel leading to the brake lights and then kick the lights out if you are in the trunk and can not find a release lever. Stick your arm out through the hole where the lights were and wave it around to draw the attention of other motorists.
Disconnect the wires leading to the brake lights if you are not able to kick the lights out. This increases the chances that the kidnapper may get pulled over by the police.
Pound on the lid of the trunk and yell for help every time the vehicle stops or slows down.
If you are locked up inside the trunk you may look for the first aid kit under the carpet which you can get some improvised weapons from. This may also help you if you are tied up.
