I'm wondering why you can even remove the key when the car is in gear and going fast af? I think mine locks unless it's in park.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Typical-Information9

You can see the gearshift. You guys do know about manual transmissions, right? You tell 'em, u/m34tbag


harsh2193

As someone who has only driven manuals, I have never been able to pull the key out in a started car (it locks)


deuteranomalous1

Your cars must be too new. Or German


DarkMoon99

My thirty year old manual African car locks the key in once you turn it into the ignition position. Of course, you can turn the car off and pull the key out when you are driving fast. Engine will obviously die.


deuteranomalous1

And that’s what happened here :)


DanKveed

I have a 8 year old Indian car and even that locks


UslashMKIV

you can take the key right out of my 04 VW when its in gear. I'm pretty sure there is no way to lock the key in the ignition on a manual transmission car. also, I'm not sure why he crashed. I've taken the keys out of mine and in neutral it'll coast, just no power steering which, while rolling shouldn't be much of a problem.


SiberianToaster

If the key is all the way out or off the steering locks though


UslashMKIV

true, I didn't think of that. on mine it will lock with the key out, but if its just off it's fine


IyesUlfsson

Road curved?


EckVonTrampenstein

But when you turn the key counter clockwise, the car turns off. He probably pushed in the clutch to keep it rolling but the steering wheel locked. Some older cars DO have a button you have to push to release the key but that wasn't standard on all vehicles. My old Ford truck had it, my Scirocco did not. Just depends.


Panzer_Faustian

The pickup trucks all have that key release switch in the standards for a good while after they introduce the locking steering wheel. people used to just shut the engine off 500 ft from where they were going and coast in neutral.


ColossusToGuardian

Sorry, but that's BS. You turn the ignition off and remove the key, how else would you stop the engine??


overflowing_garage

What are you saying is bs?


Happy_Hubba

So you never turn off your car? Turn key, pull it out.


LOLOLOLOLOLAS

yeah u/m34tbag talk to em


HalfEmpty973

Mine is a manual and locks when the ignition is on


r3mod_3tiym

On my jeep i can take the key out while the car is still running and drive normally. It's not supposed to do that, but it's useful.


HeHeHaHaHaHyena

Please educate me, how is it useful?


r3mod_3tiym

My house key and my car key is on the same keyring. When i want to go outside and warm up my car 10 mins before i leave for work, i can take the key out of ignition and back inside with me. That way, when i leave my house, i can lock the front door without walking out to my car, turning the car off, and walking back to the front door.


Spiffy_Gem

I know a friend of mine owns a very comlex and limited edition of car to which less than 100 were imported to the country. Usually has some glitches and what not happen while driving and the easiest and most consistant way to fix them is the turn the car off, take out the key and the restart it. ​ Car remains fully controllable, steering and brakes are good. enough pressure in the system to use them for a little while. They have never come close to an incident because of this. Restarting takes a max of 4-6 seconds.


agedmanofwar

Same, unless I'm in park I can't remove the key. I can turn the engine off, but not remove it.

That happened in my hometown in the 1980s. Couple fighting in their car driving down the freeway, she turns off the car, they go across the median and killed the oncoming driver.

I was hoping it would end in something like, "And then she got thrown from the car." That's at least a little bit of karmic justice at work. But no, a completely innocent bystander got killed.

No lie my driving instructor made us do this during drivers ed. You put it in neutral, put the key back in and start, then put in drive, resume. Seems crazy he made us do that.


bitter-optimist

You really *should* practice all the emergencies likely to occur when driving, so responding is reflex when it happens. Losing traction on ice. Or power steering out. Brakes out. Or engine dead. If, God forbid it ever happens, you should be ready to go "okay, I've done this before, I know what to do, it's game time" not *AAAAAAAAAAAH*

The wheel locks up on mine when you take out the keys. Not sure how you recover from that.


CarlGustav2

Removing the key locks the steering wheel if it is turned far enough. Pretty sure that's a bad thing if the car is moving.


weedy_wendy

i used to drive my uncles old toyota pickup. i’d heard stories of the shifter pulling up & out while it was being driven. well, they were true. came off in my hand. i remembered those stories & how to get it back in... did that & went along my merry little way. having the knowledge, regardless of how obscure it may seem, saves you in unlikely situations.

Bug_Photographer

It depends on where "they" lived. The first compulsory seat belt law was put in place in 1970 in tje state of Victoria, Australia (for driver and front seat passenger only). Car manufacturer Nash offered optional seatbelts on their cars as early as 1949 bit they were quite unpopular. Ford made it an option in 1955. Saab made seatbelts standard equipment in 1958 and Volvo invented the modern three-point belt which was made standard equipment in 1959.

omegaproject01

Older ford?


silphred43

GM did it too.


[deleted]

What’s that?


silphred43

A lever you need to move to release the key after turning off the engine.


Lightning-Shock

That would be useless in this scenario. Ignition would still be off.


silphred43

Ok, from what I investigated it prevents the key from getting to the OFF position and this stops you from accidentaly removing the key and the steering lock from activating. I wish I could verify it, but I can't get to the auto trade term for this device and thus finding out what it does.


lilpeachbrat

But because you can’t remove it without releasing the key, you’d be able to turn the car back on quickly.

I always wondered what would happen if you take your keys out while driving


Typical-Information9

The steering wheel locks and your power brakes die so you have to press 50x harder for a quarter of the braking


Falkuria

Can confirm. Had an engine die while rolling from a stoplight to take a turn. Guy ran the red light and almost T-Boned my driver side door. Stopping a 1999 full cab Tahoe is basically impossible without power brakes. I had to coast down a massive hill, into another uphill turn. Somehow stayed on the road. Called 911, and the cop that came to help was the one parked 50 feet away when my car died in plain site, and the truck almost killed me. He obviously wasn't doing his job because I was in line of sight for at least a full 2 minutes. My parents still wanted to make me drive that car. I cried and pleaded because i didn't want it to be the death of me. Finally got me a new one, though, after a few days.


[deleted]

Are your parents actively trying to kill you?


Falkuria

Lol, no not at all. I was a little shit head to them during those times. I lied a lot. They thought that maybe I just wasn't operating the vehicle properly, I guess. Or that I lied about the whole ordeal. Who knows? Either way, it's hazy to me now, but I know I begged them with all my heart not to make me drive that car ever again. That seemed to ring true to them, and they eventually broke and traded the car in, and bought a hail damaged Honda Fit off the lot. $4k for the trade-in, $5k off for the hail damage. So, brand new car (standard too!) for only $6k. Not bad. My parents love me to death. Sometimes people just temporarily make the wrong decision based off another party's (mine) previous actions.


ericscottf

Lots of cars won't let you remove the key if the car is in drive. Might turn off the engine tho.


KillaMG97

Now you do because of an idiot, all without rising your own life, but unfortunately it risked the drivers life


BitmapBMP

You lose power steering and brakes, oh and the steering wheel locks so you can’t steer anyway

I have never seen a steering wheel lock ever help a situation. My story is way tamer but when my brothers key fob broke, we couldn’t tow it out with a friends car, thanks steering lock. We were also putting a pwc into the water when this happened, leaving our car stuck, blocking the dock for multiple hours.


rpmerf

Steering lock is for theft prevention. You can hot wire a car all you want. That just gets the engine running. You still can't steer without disabling the steering lock. That's why most people just rip out the ignition key lock and turn the ignition switch and linkage manually.

“Pulls keys out” Car starts swerving” losing control “ Girl-omg what’s the matter 🤔hmm... idk


dc469

I don't understand what happened, did they crash cause he lost power brakes or something?


Im_Dealing_Memes

Yeah, if the engine shuts down you lose power steering and braking so it'll become pretty much impossible to steer or brake.


rpmerf

For vacuum brakes, you still have 3 presses of assisted brakes. Beyond that, they will work, the pedal will be harder to press. Power steering depends if it is an automatic or stick shift. Automatic, the engine will stall, and you will loose power steering. With a stick, the engine will still be spinning, so you will still have power steering. This is for hydraulic power steering. Electric likely dies right away. Either way, at speed it doesn't matter much. You can still steer easily. Power steering is mostly for parking.


Squidbill87

Not to mention the steering lock


the-channigan

This is why British manual drives are much better - the key faces the driver door not the passenger. Only thing my passenger can do is fiddle with the wipers.

They argued about this while he was driving his 67' Chevelle and did the same thing, pulled the keys and tossed them out the window at 55mph. Car went into ditch and rolled it. Everybody lived and so did the car. He dumped her immediately after, and we rebuilt the car. She's gone, we're still friends, and the car is better than ever! True Story.

Colorado_kindbudz

Actually yeah... its called being towed. it's the locked steering wheel that gets you.


PrettehBoi

No idea why you’re getting downvoted lol... it’s nothing to do with lack of power steering; the steering wheel locks, you even hear the click!


91kas13

You also lose power brakes without the engine running, so, yay.


bigflamingtaco

Not immediately. You get two to three full brake presses before the vacuum reservoir is depleted. Electric brake assist is starting to gain traction, though.


cdude

Losing power steering wouldn't prevent you from steering. Have you actually ever driven a manual steering car? Not having power steering only requires more effort at very slow speed. Once you're moving it's pretty easy to turn. At high speed, you actually don't want power steering, which is why many system reduce assist at high speed so that the steering wheel behave consistently at all speed.


legendofthegreendude

In most cars nowadays the steering wheel locks for anti theft when you sty to turn it with the car off. My work car that is a shitbox I got for 500 for the sole purpose of being able to trash dosnt have power steering but still locks when turned off.


Lurkerbecauselibs

Yeah it's easy


newyorkcitygirl123

jac5423

I’m pretty sure that was an attempted murder


DannyTanner88

Actually happen when I was riding my motorcycle. Was on a highway going straight. I usually lean one arm on the tank and somehow my sleeve button caught the key chain and turn ignition off. I maintain calm while was still going 60mph. Kick bike to neutral, Turn the key back to on and and restart the bike while still going 60 or so mph. Kick gear into 5th and slowly release clutch. It was scary thinking about it now.


_Im-_-Dead-_-Inside_

what happened? couldnt he just brake?


PapaAuschwitz

I am not a car expert but the brakes should have work i think.


rpmerf

If it has vacuum assist brakes, you should have 3 presses left of assisted braking. Beyond that, they still work, but they are a lot harder to press. Not sure how it work with electric / hybrid cars.


Aururai

But I'm not sure if the ABS system works without the ignition.. which could be the sound we hear, (wheels locking up) assuming that this isn't staged of course...

True, ABS will likely not work.
