    I’d suggest personal security when you are in and around your car is important, and you should be considering it.  Number-one item on the ‘must have’ agenda there: a super-bright LED flashlight. (Bear in mind I’m not a lawyer. None of this report is legal advice.) This is the Olight Warrior Mini - my new, all-time favourite flashlight for everyday carry. It’s brilliant. (Yes - pun intended.)  Olight is huge in military and law-enforcement, especially in the USA. I didn’t even know they had an outpost here in ‘Straya. But they reached out to me, and here we are, reviewing the Warrior Mini, and it’s big brother - the Warrior X Pro.  Importantly, Olight has no influence over this report.   But why should you even carry a flashlight? (Especially if you’ve survived this long without one.) I mean, here in ‘Straya bad men tend not to ride over the hill, one evening and put everyone to the sword, inconveniently.  To which I would retort: When did Noah build the Ark? Before the rain, dude. Plus, this is not not all about defence and violence - it’s about support in a range of foreseeable situations, out there.  Such as, say you can break down somewhere remote, middle of the night. Try changing a tyre by Braille. You’d kill for a flashlight. Checking fuses. Seeing where all that water is leaking from. Or when you just dropped that screw, those keys … whatever, in the dark. I know you can do some of this with a phone.  But perhaps you drive around a bend, middle of the night, out in the boonies. There’s a crash. It’s a bad one. You’re the first responder. People are hurt. 20,000 serious injuries on Australian roads annually. This could easily happen to you.  If it does, you need to park your car to stop someone else crashing into you. You’re going to need a flashlight to assess the victims and help. Find your first aid kit, which I hope you are carrying. Gotta build the Ark before the rain.  Alternatively, you might just park one day in a nice, seemingly safe spot. Lots of people around. Broad daylight. You go off and … help cure cancer. Feed the homeless.   When you come back, it’s dark. You’re alone. Or, maybe, not alone, in the worst possible way. It’s not the same environment as before. Like, it’s just not. You are particularly vulnerable to attack getting into and out of your car, alone. And between the car and your home if you park on the street.
