What if I drive my car into a body of water?

[banshee-elegy]

Is this a reliable way to drown? Could it look accidental?

Yes and yes. Keep in mind tho that drowning is not recommended way to go. Painful, stress inducing and with unpleasantly high chance of being rescued.

EDIT - by answering "yes" to the first question i mean that drowning in general is a valid way to go if undisturbed, especially if you encase yourself in metal car coffin but since car floats for a while there's strong chance that either SI kicks in or someone sees your "accident" and rushes to the rescue.

I think is a "good" method but imagine the anxiety when the water starts entering the car, id better jump from a bridge

According to Google, it can take 2 minutes for a car to sink. I wonder if that is full submersion, or still partially visible?

Should the windows be open or closed to sink faster? I heard huffing deodorant spray prior can also make drowning more effective, but I am trying not to leave any "signs."

Too many variables at play to ever say it's reliable in my opinion. I'd rather just tie some weights to my ankles and jump in a lake somewhere. I'd also rather not drown myself but that's your choice lol.

It all depends on the type of the car and it's condition. Tyres - make you float. Might want to remove air wrom them prior driving into the water. Fuel tank - basically a flotation device when empty and you cant make much about it since more fuel = more chance that colorful stain will appear above car's resting place (also think about all the pollution this junk will cause). Cabin - another big bag of air. Windows should be at least a bit open to allow easier air escape.

Basically, as cme-dme stated - too many variables.

No. Because even if it is successful, ppl might not find your body. Also your body will be very bloated beyond recognition when found. You will feel a lot of anxiety and probably regretting it. You cant break open the windows and such.. Stressful..

What do you mean by body of water?

Your survival instinct is going to kick into high gear once you hit the water and you'll begin fighting to get out.

I remember getting forceably dunked into a sink by my mum when I was about 7 after refusing to wash my face. It was absolute agony. I was begging her to stop after only a few dunks. Drowning is unbelievably torturous.

Anyone who hasn't experienced it can't possibly know.
