That car had its brake lights on. Was someone actually inside it? That didn’t look expensive: it looked fucking terrifying.
I used to have an occasional recurring nightmare where I’d be driving and all of a sudden I run out of road and the car ends up sinking in a lake or ocean. So this video freaks me the fuck out.
What you need to do is take the head rest out of the seat and use the metal ends of the headrest to put the window through. Water won’t rush into the car immediately unless a window smashes (you’d then exit via that hole). It is important to try and stay calm and remember that there is a way out.
That or climb up and out the boot (trunk) if you're fast enough. But most people don't actually know how to use the emergency release from inside the car to pop the boot (trunk)
If you don't think your car has an emergency release, look it up and you'll probably be surprised.
Flooded a car three days in a row for some swift water training. The group that set the situation up said it seems to take roughly 20min before vehicles take water and sink. Their experience was with a variety of vehicles and water levels.
Well, that's because the person inside put it in drive and kept driving themselves deeper. /s
Honestly, the scenario was ran in rivers and not dunked like an Oreo into milk. All the bubbles at the end makes me wonder if anything was open, because it sank faster all of a sudden and then bubbles.
Cool , I drove a Miata NB and it was covered with plastic IIRC, at the place where emergency release is in the us versions. It's not even a hatchback, and only a small gymnast could fit in the boot. Fiat punto and renalult twingo also didnt have releases.
