When you're on the road, you never know what can happen. And if you're a parent to a teen who just started driving, you probably worry every day about him or her getting into an accident.
Of course, we don't think about what could happen to us on the road constantly. After all, the chances of getting from point A to point B intact are very high. But it never hurts to be prepared for the worst.
One of these things? Somehow driving your vehicle into a body of water, like a lake.
As your vehicle is slowly being submerged, you start to panic and don't know what to do. But first responders in Santa Rosa, CA, made a strong visual impact on the public by demonstrating the proper way to address an accident like this.
Emergency crews repeatedly pushed a car into a lake in front of onlookers — with a man inside — to demonstrate how to escape the vehicle.
The first step is don't panic. Second, roll down the windows.
Finally, free yourself from your seat, then any passengers who would be with you, oldest to youngest. These instructions are fairly easy to remember, but the key is to remember them in case of an emergency.
