I transferred from BDC to sales, currently in training. I have heard some scary things about test drives. My former supervisor said she was kidnapped, the "customer" called management and demanded $2000 off the car before he would return her to the dealership, and corporate training spoke of thefts, the salesperson was forced out of the vehicle.

What are some safety tips to prevent problems?
