The other day in a horrific accident reported in the State a car occupant was charred to death after his car hit a parked vehicle and caught fire. It is learnt that the car door would not open making it impossible for the victim to escape. It is pertinent to note that in a central locking system one common reason the car door lock is stuck in the locked position is due to broken connections within the door panel or lock assembly. This can be a matter of life and death, especially when the car occupant is trapped inside after meeting with an accident, if the car catches fire or if the vehicle falls into a water body. Here is where a glass breaker comes in handy. A glass breaker is a hand tool designed to break through a window glass in an emergency. It would be prudent to provide cars with a glass-breaking device as well. It is pertinent to note that all A/C buses have such a glass-breaking tool which can be used by the passengers in case of an emergency.
