What is the method for escaping from a submerged vehicle?
3 Answers
When a vehicle is submerged in water, the method for escaping is to unfasten the seatbelt and open the car door immediately, as exiting through the side door is the safest and quickest way. After the car enters the water, it will not sink to the bottom instantly. At this moment, you should quickly unlock the electronic central locking system to prevent the door locks from failing. These few seconds can make a life-or-death difference. Below are some driving precautions: 1. Check the rearview mirrors: When turning or changing lanes, you must use the turn signals, slow down, and always check the rearview mirrors before turning. For left turns, primarily check the left rearview mirror; for right turns, primarily check the right rearview mirror. For both left and right turns, you must also check the interior rearview mirror. 2. Do not focus solely on the area directly in front of the car: When driving on a clear road, look straight ahead at a distance of about 100 meters, avoiding fixation on the immediate area in front of the car. 3. Depress the clutch: Generally, when decelerating at speeds above 40 km/h, there is no need to depress the clutch immediately. Wait until the speed drops to around 20 km/h before depressing the clutch. 4. Steering: When making high-speed turns, steer slowly; when making low-speed turns, steer quickly.
