Bit of an increased risk of ending up in a river at the moment.
If you get swept into deep water, first thing to do is open the windows, if the car sinks with them shut, you won't be able to open the doors due to the pressure of the water.
If you can't then try to break the windows by kicking with your heels or using a heavy object, I keep a jack handle under the seat.
If you can't break the window, don't panic, you'll have to wait till the car fills with water, take a deep breath from the last pocket of air and hold it. As soon as the car is filled then the pressure will be equal. Open the door and head for the surface. If you're wearing boots take them off first as they'll fill with water and drag you down.
