I've always carried one in my cupholder my whole life. It's like a small knife and has a tipped end. Very easy to use.

They're 20$ on amazon. I will admit I tried kicking the window first but then remembered I had the knife.

Worth considering that an accident which would cause you to need such a device is likely to involve enough disturbance to cause a tool sitting in the cupholder to find itself thrown around the vehicle.

Yeah, it's definitely a risk but I intentionally left it in the cup holder to make sure it annoyed me enough daily when I needed to use a cup so that I remembered it existed. There's a fine line and I have a terrible memory especially in a crisis so I figured it's best bouncing around then hidden in some center console or glove box where I can't remember

Mine is on my keychain, which is likely still embedded in the dash after a crash. I guess that's less helpful for those newer vehicles that don't use keys as such.

This is a great reminder to carry one of those.

Thank you for the reminder. I'm glad you're safe.

Thank you! I was coming home from work and it was my birthday so I had a cake in the back of my car and lost it in the crash. The greatest tragedy. lol

OMG - comedy & tragedy, amirite? Sounds like the "paint bucket in the back of the car during crash" risk. <3

Exactly right lol. Splattered cake on me and my windshield.
