This is a cute little video about a fellow's adventure when he is out driving one evening!
(I-AutoNewsWire.com, August 31, 2015 ) Wilmington, Delaware -- What: Trapped in a car after a collision. It's a scary thought. Yet many people in collisions, or who've slid off the road are limited in their options in escaping unassisted from a vehicle when the doors and windows won't open. This can cause panic and sometimes further injury.
Why: Believe it or not, a low speed collision can jam doors closed and prevent windows from opening, especially if the vehicle ends up in water. Seconds can count!
The Car Emergency Hammer is a tool to help drivers and passengers escape from their vehicle. It can be used to cut a seatbelt or shatter a side or rear window to help in exiting. It has a white flashlight to search for a cellphone to call for help and three flashing red lights to direct other motorists or rescue workers to the stranded vehicle. There also is a magnet to attach this flashing red beacon to the outside of the vehicle to identify its location.
This tool, now available through NorthernDay, can reduce stress and increase peace of mind. A little preparation can change the story in a roadside situation!
A Few Reminders on Accident Prevention:
- Don't allow children to fight or climb around in your car (they should be buckled in their seats at all times). One accidental bump or too much noise can easily distract you from concentrating on driving safely.
- Cell phones can also take your focus away from the task at hand: arriving safely at your destination.
- Know the weather forecast for the area you will be driving in and drive according to the road conditions.
- Avoid driving when you're tired. Be aware that some medications can cause drowsiness and make operating a vehicle very dangerous.
- Always use caution when changing lanes. Cutting in front of someone, changing lanes too fast or not using your signals can cause an accident or upset other drivers.
- Take extra precautions while driving in deer country
