I EDC a Victorinox Rescue every night at work.I drive a truck for a living so having to extricate myself is a possibility.I also keep a Buck Tiburon handy in my tool bag or glove box of my car for the same reason.Holler at Feline vet over at SOSAK or through Defender he can help you with the Vic.The Tiburon was discontinued a long time ago.I have found that even though it was designed for an aquatic enviroment,it works quite well as a hard use utility blade.Dtrain
The Vic Rescue is probably the best of the bunch, and being a car tool, you shouldn't fall foul of the law with one, failing that how about a Rescom, after you subcom, you should be very familiar with it, which is what you want in the event of an accident.
Well between Def and Dunc, they'll probably had all the rescue tool on the market, so you might want to listen to there advice more than mine

Thanks for the suggestions guys. That lifehammer looks pretty handy.I really like the look of the Spyderco assist, but I very much doubt a copper would like the look of it. I know the chances of being stopped and searched are very slim, but I drive past 2 police stations on my way to work and I see at least 1 police car every day. At least you have a reasonable reason for carrying it, I doubt my occupation would count.

Just depends on how much you use the file . I have one of those lifehammers somewhere Would you like it ? I'd have to find it first though .Dunc
Get one so I can have a look at the meet Dunc
A glass breaker only works on toughened glass i.e the stuff that bursts into millions of little bits . Its no good on windscreens . I have been told that some side windows are now laminated ( like windscreens ) although cant confirm this .I dont claim to know anything about vehicle rescue but I do work in a glass factory .Dunc
I carry a life hammer in the car and seem to remember that the police supplies web site has a key ring sized spring loaded window breaker and seatbelt cutter but I can't get onto it to confirm
Maybe a ResQme or the benchmade are the way to go, I can't see why a copper would have a problem with you having either in your car (in the high street yes, as you'll look like a high tech car jacker )Group by on ResQMe's
Marc does them for $8.95 + P&P
