No it wouldn't. The car would essentially coast down to a stop. Shutting off the engine isn't going to cause the car to stop like it slammed on the brakes.

The steering wheel will not lock unless you turn the key to the "off" positition and then remove the key from the ignition switch. If you turned the keyy to the "off" position, with the car in gear and the clutch out, the motor will spin until the clutch gets pressed in or taken out of gear.

The reason the start button was not needed, was because the car was going 80-85 mph "in gear", meaning the engine was spinning the whole time.

I've been in a Civic where the driver took the key out of the ignition to unlock the glove box. I guess we got lucky.

very dangerous. you have NO power brakes, and also, the steering wheel locks. if he'd had to make a sudden/emergency maneuver, or the wheel locked in a turning position, he'd likely have not been able to save you both from an accident.

yes it will. the key can be in the ignition, and the steering wheel will lock if the key is in the "off" position.

You have to turn it to the "ON" position before you turn it to the "OFF" position or it will not unlock.

If you just stick the key in the cylinder without turning the key to the "ON" position, of course it will be locked
