>Cars that don't start unless the brake or clutch is pressed

Why does this exist. It's annoying as shit.
>>
Because liability, and shitty tort laws
>>
>>14660745
It's in case you try to start the car in-gear.
>>
>>14660759
But are people actually stupid enough to do this?
>>
>>14660761
Yes.
>>
Simply bypass the neutral safety switch.
>>
>>14660763
Well there you go. Retards ruining things for the rest of us, as always.
>>
>>14660766
People make mistakes, this board seems to think they're immune to this fact yet they'll forget one day to take it out of gear/push the clutch in, buck it into a wall and look for someone to blame.
>>
>>14660761
There's nothing stupid about starting the engine in-gear if you intentionally do it and do it the correct way. This system is to prevent idiots from hurting themselves or other people doing it the incorrect way.

>not doing it regardless for safety
>>
I do this out of habit anyway.
I've never owned a car with this feature.
>>
what's wrong with a feature that requires no extra thought or effort that can potentially save you thousands of dollars?

you should have your car in park or neutral when you start it regardless

>you should have your car in park or neutral when you start it regardless
I do have it in neutral. This is exactly why I wouldn't need to press the clutch when starting it.
>>
>>14660774
Why would you ever start your car in gear?
>>
>>14660745
In cars with push button start, it's the differentiator between engine ignition (actually starting the car) and just on for power/climate control.

Because morons drive cars into buildings and claim 'IT JUST MOVED ON IT'S OWN!'

That said, I started the car when it was in gear once. Once. It hauled itself across the car park at about 1.5k RPM, despite the handbrake.
But then, the handbrake was worn to shit, and the engine revved up to 1.5k and stayed there after being cold for a while.
And I'd decided 'fuck it, good enough' when I stalled it trying to park in the morning. I was within the lines, so fuck it. I just forgot I left it in first.

If you leave your car parked in neutral you're a retard.

Mfw ppl on this board saying they hate a simple safeguard, claim they will never make a mistake, and then don't fucking know how to even properly park a manual trans

>>14660745
I didn't know this was a feature, it's just a good habit to start the car with your foot on the break. Mistakes happen to literally everyone and such a little action every time you start the car is worth it. It's annoying that there's one more electronic piece of shit restricting the driver, but in this case I see little reason not to reflexively start braking.

>get a vehicle with remote start
>deliberately have it wired wrong so the vehicle will start outside of park and has the unlock command on the vehicle remote start the engine
>don't tell the dealer when you bring it in for service that you have remote start or using the unlock button on the keyfob will trigger it
Do you even read the shit you link to?
>>
>>14662257
>deliberately bypassed a safety that would keep it from starting in gear

Why the fuck?...

Bypass it you stupid retard, bitch nigga

Because he's a lazy know-it-all piece of shit like OP

>>14662235
if you're not park on steep hill put in in gear doesn't really matters
