It was a survival show and the person who drove

very hard to open the door. He kicked it, etc,

finally took out his centerpunch and broke the side window. He waited for
the water to rush into the car and then he swam out of the window. So,
based
on that scenario, I doubt it would be possible to
even open it a little
bit...
So without the centre punch, don't you just wait for the car to almost
fill up and then open the door? Seems that the main advantage of the
centre punch is for when the doors won't open due to damage, though (and
presumably you're screwed if the doors are locked and you have central
locking)
