You Have This With You at All Times – It Could Save Your Life

There are all sorts of things that we use on a daily basis that we are either using in the wrong way, or there could be a better way to use the item.  Or, in this case, there is an item that we have with us at all times when we are in the car, and it can actually save your life.

The item I am talking about is the head rest.  The ones that can be moved up and down, they can also be pulled completely out from the back of the seat.  This would be very helpful if you are ever in an accident and you're trapped in your car.  You may need to break a window.  Pull the head rest out and use the metal rods to break the window.  This will help you escape the vehicle if you are in water, or some other situation where the window will not roll down.

There are several other common or everyday items that you may not have known have other uses.
