My family and I were involved in an accident at the end of last year where our vehicle went into a dyke, turned upside down, and filled with water. It was only due to family and nearby publicans being on site that allowed for our escape and prevented us from potentially drowning. A brightly coloured and easily accessible car window breaker and seat belt cutter could be used in any sort of emergency whereby the conventional means of escaping from a vehicle is not possible. These could be placed above the driver's side window for ease of access.
