    I always carry a draper Stanley knife in the car, bit of vaseline on the blade to stop any moistuRe running it.

    Retract the blade and punch a window corner with it, job jobbed.

    My concern is that if I have an accident where I will be needing it, there is a much higher possibility that it won't be me using it at all.

    Why would you need a glass breaker so badly?

    Don't think I've ever needed one in my life, and I don't recall anyone I know needing one either.

    Good call Colin. Been upside down a few times and not being able to get out is pretty fooking horrendous.

    Your permitted to carry at any time a blade that it either sheved with a bolt/velcro or retractable via mechanical means (thats not in the butterfly style) of no more than 3 and a 1/2 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. Basically your typically fishing knife BUT the second you remove it from the shev you need to have a good reason lol.

    im on about the stanley knife you cant have that in your car near to hand, it should be in the boot in a toolbox etc.

    Unless it's nailed to the A-pillar it'd be totally useless anyway. Everything goes everywhere.

    If you roll it and the windows didn't come in round you, then you clearly weren't going hard enough...

    The only problem I can see with it is being upside down in a car is very confusing, happened me once in a clio and I couldn't figure out we're the door handle was when I got myself uprite, ended up rollin out off the boot lid but for them few seconds after a accident your brain doesn't function rite and ull probly find it hard to find it lol

    Although a cool device all the same :)

    Yep, exactly. Having something for an emergency in a cubby hole or glove box is next to useless tbh.

    The problem I had when I rolled the 306 and was upside down was not being smart enough to brace myself before taking my belt off! DOH!
