I just want to use this post to make a PSA - ALWAYS keep a blade in your car! In the case of a serious accident you may need it to cut off your or a passenger's seatbelt, as the locking mechanisms can get stuck and make it difficult to reach the buckle/release. Ideally you want to keep a "vehicle escape tool" which has a hooked safety blade and a punch for shattering your windows if needed. But the right knife could do in a pinch.

Multiple even, at different places.

You don't want to be hanging upside down in your burning car while being unable to find your escape tool.

Agreed! They’re pretty small and inexpensive, leave one in every compartment you can.

also applies if it wasn't an accident, just want to point that out
