You need to keep your car escape tool in a location that’s easily accessible. Imagine a situation when you are trapped in your car and you can’t move because of the jammed seatbelt that won’t open. So, if your car tool is stored in the trunk, there is no way you can access it without removing the seatbelt. While the glove compartment is a good location, it may be difficult for you to grab the escape tool if you can’t get the seatbelt off. So, an ideal location to store your car escape tool is the center console. You could also plug the tool into the cigarette lighter.
