Avoid spending time attempting to break the front windshield, which is built to resist impacts. The front of the car is also generally the heaviest and sinks first.



Instead, try using the headrest from your seat or your foot to break the glass by aiming at the center of the window or along the hinges.



You could also use a pointy or heavy object such as a stiletto heel, umbrella, screwdriver, or hammer if you have it at hand.
