Drove car into a lake

If you ever experience the misfortune of plunging your vehicle into a body of water then be aware that you have roughly 90 seconds before your cabin will be full of water. Unfortunately as soon as the bottom edge of your door is submerged it becomes impossible to open so start rolling down your windows (youll still have power for up to 45 seconds after hitting the water) and getting out of your seatbelt. If you cant open the windows then try to kick them out with your feet.
