There is this emergency tool like a small hammer with a knife integrated in the handle. Must be mounted in reach from the drivers seat and can smash windows and cut seat belts.

I doubt many of us would be calm and collected to use it hanging upside down in the seat belts while the car was filled with water..

The driveway to my childhood home was a 1/4 mile causeway, about 12ft wide with deep water filled ditches either side. Family policy was to take off our seatbelts as we turned off the road onto the driveway for this reason.

Freezing cold water, too. Knocks the wind right out of you, makes your hands almost useless in seconds.

It is easy to underestimate just how quickly these things can happen. I feel bad for these folks.
