The most important this that you should do is definitely not to get panicked and stay calm. This is because being panicked would not help you in any way at all. For an easier understanding, this is a video on how to survive.
This is a very helpful way that you can use to really save yourself and escape from a sinking car.
1) Do Not Get Panicked
You will not have a very long time to react when your car is sinking underwater. That is why it is so important for you to act fast before the situation gets worst and you can do nothing about it. For your information, a car would take some time before it is fully submerged in the water. That is why you can still save yourself if you take a fast response.
2) Find Other Way Out Other Than The Door
When your car is sinking, the pressure outside would be much higher than the pressure inside of the car especially when the water has started filling up into the car. The act of opening the car would not give a good result as you have to use a greater force to open it. Even if you manage to open the door, the great force of the water makes it harder for you to go out. That is why it is advisable for you to use another alternative than the door to get out of the sinking car.
3) Escape Through The Window
According to the video, the engine of a car still has around a few more minutes to function before it got broke and shut down. If you have a motorized window, you are still able to open it and get out of the car as fast as you can. You still have the option to break the window if you cannot open it easily. When the window is open, quickly get out of the car and save yourself. If you have children inside your car, push them out ahead of you. That is how to save them.
