Do You 'central Lock' Your Car Doors While Travelling A Long Distance? by double08(m): 11:20pm On Jun 12, 2013 |
Lets say you are travelling a long distance like from Lagos to Benin,is it advisable to 'central lock' the car doors?because in case there is an accident(God forbid)the doors might stay locked and cannot be opened thereby leaving the accident victim trapped inside. That's why when am travelling I unlock the car doors once am on the interstate (express road) and when I am inside the city/town I pin the doors for security reasons. whats your take on this? OP will appreciate if this makes front page for people to air their views |

For some cars the locks are released once there's an accident. Indeed the impact of a sudden bump into a pothole at top speed is enough to free the locks, and in some cars switch on alarm lights. |

Costee: For some cars the locks are released once there's an accident. Indeed the impact of a sudden bump into a pothole at top speed is enough to free the locks, and in some cars switch on alarm lights. You're right. My 2001 BMW 325i owner's manual states that the car locks are released in the event of an accident. Thank God I have never had cause to personally find out whether this is true or not. |
