When you are driving do you...

[zootfloot]

I do if i have reason to drive through middlesbrough of an evening, but otherwise no i dont.

I always tell the wife to lock up though, simply because she has the kids in the car and her handbag is usually on the passenger seat.

 

[Adam_151]

No...(always make sure the back door of the van is locked though)

 

[kenshinu]

I lock them. But they can be open from inside when locked =S

 

[.Griff.]

Mine lock automatically when the car exceeds 4mph so erm yes would be the answer.

 

[Rossi]

My Trophy allways autolocks as soon as i drive away

 

[Shotgun_ned]

Yeah I always do. It only takes a second so why not?

Not in my experience, the e30, e36, e34, e39, e32 & e38.....

E38 and E39 it's a programmable option.

530d does it, it annoys the hell out of me so I had it turned off on the 530i. In the event of an impact it auto unlocks.

I just knew you'd be along with your anorak!

My e38 may have had that option, I never discovered it, same goes with my Dads e39 tbh....

Without wishing to rub salt into old wounds, did you find out about the unlocking deal when you had your little off a while back? - not a dig, an honest question, really !!!

After seeing someone get car-jacked... yes locking my doors has become as second nature as putting on my seatbelt.

Nope, its in the user guide. My doors were unlocked anyway

Shows how much I read my e38's manual I suppose.

Mine lock automatically as I drive off.. So yes I do!

Same. If it didnt do it automatically I wouldnt bother though.

 

[Sayso]

never.
i hate the way the company van automatically locks them.

 

[camels5]

I never lock the doors, as a child I was always told it made it much harder for emergency services to get in the car, so I just never have and nor do my children.

 

[Dark_Angel]

I wish to know more please enlighten me.

Freefaller is a pretty big dude as far as I understand it, he does a lot of Bodybuilding and self defence kind of stuff (I think).

 

[al123]

Nope I don't.

My GF's dad has the child locks on for some reason and won't take them off

 

[Freefaller]

I don't like to be threatened, and if put in a compromising position such as someone opening my door to "have a go" I don't sit and take it. I'm getting it under control, but I refuse to be bullied and refuse to be threatened or aggressed. I'm not proud of it at all, but in general I just shrug my shoulders and let it pass over me, but some people feel the need to get out of their cars. I've had one incident (there is a thread on it) where someone did "pull" me out the car - fortunately the police didn't press charges against me. Anyway it's not something that I'm trying to "show off" about as it's disgusting behaviour.

Same here.

 

[eidolon]

My doors lock automatically however I've normally got the roof off anyway so it probably wouldn't help.

 

[Naamiko_O]

I lock my car as soon as I get in. Lock doors, Ignition, handbrake

Prevents the possibility of carjacking, happened to my friend in school some guys tried to drag him out and if there are dodgy people around, it makes me feel safer that i'm 100% sure they can't just open the door and jump in with a knife or something.
