The thing to do, having seen Mom do it years back, is put it in neutral first, then steer off to the side, applying the brake, which will now work, then put it in park and shut it off, lastly, get out and get away. Sometimes this does cause a fire too. Use the big N in the gears..... sheila ________________________________ From: "MASSTANA@xxxxxxx" <MASSTANA@xxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, February 3, 2010 7:02:51 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Don't turn off your ignition while driving While saying that you can still control your car with the engine turned off, it is clear that if the key remains in the off position, the steering wheel could become locked in most cars. In order to steer the car the key would have to be turned to the first position to release the lock. Clearly the best solution is to go into neutral and use the brakes. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
