Dont leave your 2 year old playing in your discovery with the keys in the ignition, especially when your cleaning and checcking around the belts!!!
My little [!Expletive Deleted!] managed to turn the engine over just a few seconds after i'd taken my hands away after having a poke around :oops:

We were called to a distressed child locked in a car, we turned up and the 3 year old had locked the car with the keys inside while mum had nipped in to her mates house.
The kid was in no distress when we got there she had promptly fallen asleep, we removed a rear quarter lite and opened the car with the little girl still asleep. :lol: :lol:
I think mummy was a wee bit embarrassed 2 fire engines, police and ambulance just for her little treasure. :oops:

It is not just the children of today that pick up how to drive a car.
I am now 50 years old and when I was about 5 years old the drive to our house was around 30 yards long and up hill (20% or so).
Dad left me in the car to go in doors to get somthing and I climped into the driving seat and released the hand brake.
Car rolled down the drive, across an A road, through a hedge and into a field with a very frightened little boy holding on to the wheel. :shock:
You don't even need the keys to do that, leaving children in the car is an accident waiting to happen.
Listen to a wise and very old father of 5, DON'T DO IT.

my dad drove his neighbours van down the road when he was about 5 :roll: wasnt tall enough to see where he was going!
-
Having said that - a lot of 3 yr olds could probably drive better than quite a few of the muppets I seem to see every day!

Did somethign very similar when I was young, Day before inceident I was sat in the car with my dad on a flat main road and I asked "dad what would happen if you took the handbrake off?" being a flat road dads answer (and possibly not the most detailed on he could of given was.... "nothing!" so next day sat on the drive in the car waiting for dad (drive was a steep slope down to the garage). The fact that nothing would happen because dad said so in my head I left the hand brake off..... and sat in as the family car rolled into the garage down with and almighty clang. Dads answers became very detailed from that day on. :)
