Several of the points I made were acknowledged and restated by Amber and others. Personal safety is always the main concern when going anywhere. That includes having your vehicle in good working order. I will restate, please make sure the gas tank is full. I always do a walk around to make sure my brake lights, headlights and directional signals are working correctly. I also mentioned carrying a change of clothing. Nobody wants to have a breakdown while wearing a dress and heels without a change of clothing. If you're going to take a drive, I recommend staying off the freeways where the distance between exits may be many miles. If my car breaks down on the local streets I can pull over to the curb, change and worry about getting home en homme. Of course, I always have credit cards and cash and the number of an all night cab service.
Amber's rider obviously had not made adequate plans for her outings. And, it really does not matter whether she is transgender or not. A woman alone on the streets at the time of night is an easy target for any creep.
