Are you normally supposed to have those things in your car?
- ballenf 6y agoNot if the cost/hassle of having one is higher than the very specific type of insurance against doors being stuck it provides. I don't think any car company or stranger can answer that for you. Most people don't have non-expired fire extinguishers in their house either (in the US).

- DoingIsLearning 6y agoI actually do agree that all drivers should have an emergency window breaker, irrespective of the handle fault issue. In the event of a crash where the car is submerged in water, the outside pressure might not allow you to open doors and window breaking or equalising pressure, is your only way out. Having said that, GP made a rather disgusting comment where he is blaming a dead person for not having a non-mandatory emergency window breaker in a car compartment. From the article description the handles don't appear to be fault-tolerant and should certainly be investigated.
