Turning the engine off, leaving keys in the ignition, closing the door and the automatic lock kicks in I think - don't try it!

Don’t drive anyway
Surprised no ones done it in my office - some of them shouldn’t be on the road

Moved into Union Room (shadow left in H&S) for more traffic and its a better fit as well.

I haven't heard of this happening for years but it was common when we had vans without remote locking.

They’ve brought that stupid yo-yo gadget in attached to van key for exactly this reason.

My only complaint is the yo-yo devices are very poor quality — I am on my fourth one already. But they’re not at all stupid. I can think of many security and safety reasons why the keys should be tethered to the driver at all times. Perhaps a key reason is it could save you potentially being killed by a drug addict stealing your van and its contents while dragging you along as you try to cling to the bonnet. Extreme, I know, but still…

Well, perhaps not that extreme — there was the DPD driver who was killed in a similar scenario not too long ago, wasn’t there?

Why would you be trying to cling on to the bonnet?

Why would you be trying to cling on to the bonnet?

I wouldn’t need to do any such thing. My keys are always on my person.

But as we saw in the DPD case, there’s no accounting for how people panic and respond in different ways. Someone might cling on to the bonnet because they realise they’ve left the keys in the ignition and so will be in trouble and perhaps lose their job as a result. They might think they can bring about a resolution “informally” without needing to tell the gaffer they breached driver security rules, not least because such a breach (and theft of vehicle and contents) would surely be deemed gross misconduct.

Glad to hear it, wouldn't expect anything less.

Blimey, run over, dead, there he was in the middle of the road gone and guilty of gross misconduct. No death in service no pension for dependants.
