SAUGUS, Mass. -- A woman fought off an attempted carjacking by an armed man at a shopping plaza in Saugus Saturday afternoon, struggling with her attacker and screaming until bystanders scared him off.
The woman, who did not wish to be identified, told NewsCenter 5's Jim Morelli that the man stuck a gun inside her Honda Accord and put it to her face. "He kept saying get out of the car," she said.
The woman got out of the car, but then fought with her attacker, "I was pushing, screaming and yelling 'call 911'."
As other shoppers went to help, police said John L. Jumper, 47, walked calmly into the nearby woods.
"As far as we know, he did not know his victim," said State Police Lieutenant Eric Anderson.
The attempted carjacking took place about 2:30 p.m. in the parking lot of a Circuit City store near the Lynn Fells Parkway.
Dozens of state and local police officers searched with dogs and a helicopter.
Police said a tip led them to a nearby Saugus home, where Jumper was arrested.
The victim was unhurt. Jumper faces charges of attempted carjacking and assault and battery.


Points:
1) You should hold your keys between your pointer and middle fingers so that you have a better hold on your keys while you are walking to your car.
2) You should also lock your doors as soon as you get into your car.
3) Also, as an added rule, maybe you should wait to open your windows until you get the chance to start moving, even if the heat is unbearable.
4) These are all ways to prevent car jackings.

Part 3

The three parts of your vision are fringe, central, and peripheral. Central Vision is used to focus on things that are going on. Fringe vision is used to detect changes that might have happened since you focused on things, fringe vision is also used to help you see things without moving your head, such as your rear view mirror. Peripheral vision is like an extension of your fringe vision it helps you see things that may be to the side of you without losing focus on something in front of you.

Part 4

The target area is the environment that the target is located in. A target is the object in the center of the intended path of travel. The target path is the roadway from the spot you are leading up to where the target area/target is. To use these while driving you would pick a target and focus on the target area until you get into the area so that you can focus on the target. These help you to travel on a straighter path.

Part 5

A transition peg shows the placement of the vehicle in relation to the target area while a turn is being made. It gives you a visual of when you should change your direction of steering, acceleration, or braking action to help keep your car in balance. The transition peg for making a right turn is the rearview mirror. The transition peg for making left turns is the driver’s side corner post. When these are aligned with the target then you have completed your turn and should straighten out your steering wheel.
