Really?

I’ve always understood that as a car enters the water, the pressure makes it impossible to open the door. And once the car is fully submersed - also - you can’t open the door.

But there is a middle ground. As the car is filling up with water - there comes a time when the pressure inside and outside of the car is the same. And at that time, you can easily open the car door as if it were parked in dry land.

The key is not NOT PANIC! Wait until that opportune time. Swim away.

Once a car is completely submersed and filled on the inside the pressure differential will be gone and you can open the door.....or you can just roll down a window (before the car goes under if it's electric).
