If you are attacked, hit your attacker in the eyes as hard as you can with your fistfull of keys. It'll hurt a little, but it'll hurt your assailant a lot, and you'll be able to get away with relative ease. Mostly because your assailant will be blind, bleeding, and probably screaming.
When approaching your car, approach from the rear and look through the rear window, then the passenger side, then the drivers side windows to make sure no one has concealed themselves inside.
If you are attacked, scream "FIRE" instead of "HELP" or "RAPE". People will ignore the latter, but "FIRE" gets everyone's attention.

I was told that tip about holding the keys(i hold them like a small blade protruding between the fingers of my fist) by a black belt in 3 martial arts-he also said to strike in an upward motion if at all possible-throat is always good for key-stabbing and try to slash across...so to visualize you would be making a 'T' starting from the bottom. The reasoning is that an upward, forceful motion is harder to stop, easier to break the attackers grip from. If they come from behind, just stab behind you hard as you can or stab the hand that grabs you.
