(Transportation-News.com, February 20, 2014 ) Portland, Oregon -- Severe weather conditions make the probability of involvement in an auto accident significantly greater. Be it snow, sleet and ice on the road or rain, flash floods and damaged highways they all add to the risk.
Include driver fatigue and the associated poor visibility that comes with all of them and it becomes a deadlier mix. One result being that unexpected auto accident with severe consequences such as vehicle entrapment.
Vehicle entrapment is commonly associated with an automobile entering water and starting to submerge. Certainly this is more dramatic and urgent. But entrapment in severe weather is equally lethal. Cold temperatures quickly lead to hypothermia, flash flooding will wash a vehicle away and high temperatures cause heat exhaustion.
In these circumstances it is often vital to exit the vehicle quickly. If the occupants are trapped without external assistance a Car Escape Tool becomes the vital accessory needed. A prime example of this necessity is best described by this recent Amazon review which says in part:
"Brilliant idea, a friend of mine could have used this tool a few years back. He spent the night trapped by his seatbelt after he had rolled his Ute into a ditch on a country road...."
Single vehicle entrapment can happen to anyone. Without a tool to escape the only option is to wait for help to arrive.
These products are readily available and economically priced. Nifty Selections finds it surprising that they are not a standard accessory for every vehicle on the road. A valuable safety addition for minimal extra cost.
