It's not easy to cut your own carotid artery. The carotid artery is a large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the brain. It is located on the front of the neck, just below the jawbone.

To injure the carotid artery, you would need to use a sharp object and apply a fair amount of pressure. You would also need to know where the artery is located. It's not something that most people would be able to do accidentally.
