If you've ever been in a car accident and gotten out without being injured, you know how lucky that is. It's also a testament to how skilled emergency escape drivers are. If you want to get out of your vehicle quickly and safely, here are some tips:
Pulling the emergency handle is a dangerous move if you are not prepared.
If you are not prepared and have no idea how to get out of the car, pulling the emergency handle is a dangerous move. It could get you trapped in the vehicle and cause further injury or death if something goes wrong. And if you're in an accident and can't get out of your car, this may be all that stands between your life and death.
If any of these situations apply to you, please don't use the emergency brake unless it's absolutely necessary.
Roll down the window to escape, but just be careful about slipping out of it.
If you want to escape, rolling down the window is a good way to do it. Just be sure that you can safely get back in through the same opening if necessary.
If you're going through an area with lots of traffic and people passing by, make sure that there's room for both of your feet on either side of the car—and don't forget about seat belts! You might also consider using them yourself (if they're still working) as an extra safety measure when trying to get out of your vehicle.
Get out by jumping or climbing out.
If you're stuck in a car, it's important not to do anything that might make things worse. Stepping out of the vehicle and trying to climb over the roof or door can be dangerous if your car is moving—and even if it isn't, jumping out while parked could cause injury if you land poorly. It's also important not to try and jump out while driving; doing so while stationary could result in injury or death.
If you want to get into an accident, you should do it with caution
There are many ways to get out of a car, but if you want to do it with caution, here are some tips:
Be prepared for the consequences of your actions. If you decide to break free from your seat belt and run across the road or into oncoming traffic, there's no guarantee that someone won't hit you—or worse.
If you are in a car and the emergency handle is pulled, it’s not the end of the world. You can escape without having to go through all that trouble. Just remember what we said: pull it at your own risk!
