Woman terrified when passing car slows down

Taking to her social media, the babe vlogged her day after work, where she showcased her viewers' glimpse into her life and more under the handle @jameela.rabz.

She shared a harrowing experience in her vlog, where a suspicious encounter with a passing car in a quiet South African suburb left her shaken. The incident, which took place in the early evening, has sparked a debate around women’s safety and the psychological impact of seemingly minor encounters.

@jameela.rabz, who was exercising as she jogged on the streets alone, was walking home alone when a black vehicle approached her from behind and suddenly slowed down as it came alongside her. She initially assumed the driver was lost and looking for directions, but panic set in when the car continued to crawl beside her without saying a word.

The car then made a U-turn and drove away on the other side after she watched its every move as it slowed to approach her.

Taking to her comments section, when questioned why she did not run, she responded by saying:

"I swear I wasn’t calm, running just registered late."

The incident has since gone viral on social media after she posted about it, with many other women sharing similar stories.
