Wait for the water to totally fill up inside the car before trying to get out. Bust a window if you have to and breathe in the air pocket that will form under the roof of the car. Unfasten your seatbelt once you’ve hit before the water starts to come in and you should be alright.

well I’d hopefully realize to open the door before it got too deep. If not, I’d probably take my knife and cut through my window, as I’ve got a jeep with a soft top.
I trust myself to be able to get the door open fast enough though, as chances are I’d be going to get it open as soon as we were headed towards the water.
