Secret Switch in Your Car That Could Save
Most of us learned to drive with our hearts pounding, hands clenched on the wheel, trusting parents, instructors,
and a few beeping safety features to keep us alive. What we rarely learn, though, is how to survive when everything goes wrong.
That’s where hidden tools like the emergency trunk release become more than a clever design—they become a lifeline.
In many cars, you can fold the back seats down, crawl into the trunk,
and find a small glow-in-the-dark handle or switch on the trunk lid that lets you open it from the inside.
Knowing that simple fact, and actually practicing how to reach it, can turn terror into action in a crisis.
Combine that knowledge with basic habits—wearing your seatbelt, avoiding distractions,
maintaining your brakes and tires—and the road becomes just a little less unpredictable, and a lot less unforgiving.
