I think it's mandatory to have one by law, at least in some countries. I hope people learn how to use them, because there are many cases where the doors cannot be opened whether there is an emergency door release or not.
)Well said sir.Sorry but I think that a hammer in the car is a bit of overkill.
Sure, get one if you’re concerned.
How many times does a person in the UK need a hammer to get out of their car? (MG4 owners excluded..
Ok, once might be enough, but you’re far more likely to be mugged, should you carry a hammer just in case? Or crash in a plane, should you wear a parachute
And (thankfully) how often do you find yourself submerged in water with doors jammed? Most people (myself included ) would probably panic anyway.
I’m all for being prepared and safety is paramount but I would suggest their are many more areas to focus on that will be far more likely to cause incidents.
For example;
Improving your driving by taking extra courses
Being more aware at all times
Trying to be more courteous
Being more speed aware
Keeping your car and tyres etc roadworthy
Get swimming lessons…
Carry a full divers kit….
I might just take you up on that.Well said sir.
You coming to Scotland to see "My Car" thats nice I'll put the kettle on

It could fly out of the door pocket in an impact with water.
