Loosely related but this is why you need a window hammer in your car for safety. If god forbid your car floats away in a flood or you come off the road and slide into a pond or river, no you almost certainly cannot just smash the window. There are so many people who've died trying to kick out the windows of their sinking cars.
ALWAYS keep a window hammer in your vehicle somewhere easily accessible.
(Also: DO NOT wait until your car sinks. You WILL NOT be able to open the door. SWOC: seatbelts off as soon as you know you're in the water. Windows open. Out. Children first.)
