They do. And the chances of you getting trapped in your burning car because the locks malfunction are next to nil lol

lgor gonna lgor though.
I mean I get his point and everything, I know a guy that once had to cut a man's seatbelt to get him out of a burning car on the highway once. I imagine it could be made more difficult if the door is locked. Still I can't imagine not getting into a car and locking the door immediately after.

Pretty much every modern car just auto locks as soon as you start driving. lgor just likes to do his redpill act about every little thing.

That's so weird to hear.
I’d never lock my own door after getting in, but I’ve never lived in a place where being carjacked is a worry lol. Modern cars all have automatic safety locks that trigger as soon as you start driving. I believe it’s in large part a child safety feature due to some unfortunate incidents with kids exiting moving vehicles.

Out of curiosity, do you not lock your house doors while inside too? I also can't fathom not doing that.
dont know if its the same in Germany, but in the Netherlands doors don't open without a key from the outside.

That was kind of weird for me, I locked myself out a few times when i first moved. Here in the UAE, we never lock doors when we're inside.

The 2008 Nissan Sentra that I used to have was the absolute Pinnacle of automotive engineering and no one can ever convince me otherwise.
Dude, I owned a 1992 Nissan Sentra XE that I drove into the ground ... until some dude in SF driving a brand new 2016 Nissan Sentra decided to plow into me and total it in 2016. :cry: So I know what you mean.

Smart cars for stoopid people.

You don't have a little knob on the inside-facing door handle that locks or unlocks it? :shifty:

Same thing took mine out. Some asshole without a license blew through a red light while my brother was driving.
