I've been in some cars that automatically lock your doors once you start driving. What's the point? If I had a car accident and wanted to bail quickly, its just another thing you have to do before your out.	vapo (5203)

Really agrevates the next person to use it.....	Metla (12)

I think most europeans do this.... But for my Honda Accord, it's part of the Alarm... And pulling on the little tab near the window is really stiff and hard to unlock.. You can only press on the "Unlock" on the remote to unlock.. Dangerous, troublesome?? YES! But it's part of the Alarm....	jesseycy (1046)

I also had an incident a few years ago where a truck driver drove past a line of traffic wrong side of the road... over a traffic island and cut me off at the front of the queue then came at my car with a wheel brace because he had the delusion that I was somehow in the wrong for being first when the lights turned green (who says all truck drivers are good drivers?) So, I feel safer with the doors locked. I have also seen a woman who stopped in a carpark and some opened the passenger door and casually reached in and took her handbag... I think she was so speachless she didn't do anything to stop him. Also I used to participate in rally driving... if you had the doors locked when you rolled they wouldn't fly open (usually) and there was less panel beating required :D	Shortcircuit (1666)

I've been in some cars that automatically lock your doors once you start driving. What's the point? If I had a car accident and wanted to bail quickly, its just another thing you have to do before your out. Our car auto-locks when going over about 5 km/hr. Good thing....EXCEPT when wifey forgets to close the door all the way and I don't notice the red door-ajar light on the dash and of course she cannot open her door in order to close it properly until we stop.

392322	2005-10-01 00:01:00	Not usually. I'm generally thicker, fatter, uglier and more dangerous than most would-be car-jackers, so I tend to be safe. But I frequently advise my missus to do so when she's driving in the city alone.	Greg (193)
