418. Which of the following is the most inappropriate way to respond when your car has been flooded during localized heavy rainfall?

1. ①Try to escape by opening the door on the opposite side of the rushing currents.
2. ②If the car door won't open, use a sharp object (such as headrest, seatbelt lock, etc.) to strike the edge of the window to break it and attempt to escape.
3. ③If you cannot break the window, do not panic; call 911 and quickly open the door to escape when the water levels inside and outside of the vehicle become the same (less than 30cm).
4. ④Once you have escaped, take shelter in the lowest ground or hide under the vehicle.
