1. When the car plunges into water.

At that time, there will be 30 seconds to 2 minutes floating on the water. This is determined to be the golden time for us to find a way to escape from the car.

Always keep an escape hammer in your car.

The basic survival rule you need to remember is "seat belt - child - window - get out". That is, once you have unbuckled your seat belt, immediately unbuckle your child's seat belt and find a way to get out. The first priority at that time is to open the car window or the main door of the car to get out as soon as the car is still floating on the water.

When the car is sinking, break the car windows with all the tools you have on hand such as: High heels, hammer, stick, screwdriver...

2. When a car is on fire, especially a passenger car.

The important thing to remember is not to break the window. Because when the glass breaks, more air will get in and cause the car to burn bigger and faster.

At this time, you need to identify the fire locations to escape, avoid those locations and calmly move towards the main door of the car to escape.

3.When the car crashed and fell into the abyss

The first and most important rule to limit your injuries is to fasten yourself to the chair, in a curled up position, with your head as low as possible, and use your hands to hold your head to form a "tight block".

Safe sitting position in case of accident.

If possible, use soft items available in the car such as blankets, pillows, clothes to wrap around the neck and head. This way, in case of collision, the chance of survival is very high. Then find a way to escape the scene as far as possible to avoid the case of the vehicle catching fire or exploding.

4. The last exit

The fastest escape skill in case of a car accident, overturning or plunging into a river or lake... that almost everyone is equipped with is to escape through the main door or break the window, windshield... Because these positions are considered to save the most time for the people in the car.

However, if all of the above methods cannot be implemented, what should you do? At this point, you should calmly find the "last escape door". This is a manual rear door unlocking lever, equipped on many modern cars today.

You just need to pry open the plastic cover (you can use your hand or the key slot to open the cover) at the back of the car, the trunk (sedan) or the luggage compartment (hatchback, SUV, Crossover), then use your finger to push the latch to the open position to be able to get out. After opening this plastic cover, use your finger to push the latch to the open position to be able to get out.

Opening the car's trunk is considered the "light at the end of the tunnel" in an emergency when traditional escape methods are ineffective. Therefore, you need to find out if your car has the function of opening the trunk from the inside and communicate it to your companions.
