How many people carry screwdrivers inside their car? I would never have of storing one in the glovebox. If you can't open your door, you could need one to break it from the inside or you have to wait for emergency services to arrive, very dsangerous in warm or hot weather. In country areas it can be too late by the time somebody finds you and emergency services arrive.They usually use equipment (jaw of life) to jemmy cars open. Be it a door, roof or bonnet. In country areas some of the Ambulance Officers were trained to use them on wrecked cars at a dump. That is how my uncle learnt to use them. It is an offense not to wear a seat belt. My Dad had seat belts fitted in our cars as soon as they were available. Before Baby Capsules were invented my brother worked out a way of fitting extra belts etc. to hold his baby daughter's carry basket in position in both his family car and for the grandparents in case of an emergency. It has always been safety first in our family, Having seen somebody else car catch fire, we even had a fire extinguisher in our car, professionally fitted in a carrier bolted to floor in the passenger's side. Fortunately we never needed it.
