A vet has drowned in her car.

Astonishingly in my car there appears no way to get out from inside if
it is locked and/or the electrics are off.

Apparently the answer is to have a device to break the side door glass.

I was looking at:

A friend of mine has one of these.

Do they work?, my gut feeling is the hammer would be best.


Automatic centre-punch? It's the preferred choice of many thieves.


Keep it simple. Assuming you can swing the thing yes.

Being RHD and right handed I don't know how much force I would have. I
also prefer the seat-belt cutter with a pull action, rather than 'push'.
