Being stuck in a submerged vehicle is the stuff of nightmares, but there are steps you can take to help you escape.
As impossible as it may sound, try to stay calm. Â Panicking may prevent you from remembering how to escape.
Step 1: Brace for Impact
Once you realize you’re going into the water, tightly grip the steering wheel. Â If your vehicle has an airbag, it will likely deploy. Â It’s important to keep your hands at “9 and 3” as opposed to the old standard of “10 and 2.”
