Oh for gosh sakes...
But weaned from the habit of turning and removing a key to shut off the motor, drivers — particularly older ones — can be lulled by newer, quieter engines into mistakenly thinking that it has stopped running.
Uh don't those lights and indicators on the dashboard mean anything? Sheesh.
Frankly I laugh when driving my wife's rather new car... I have to wait for the darn thing to "boot up" before driving it. That means all the lights come on, then it runs through a power up sequence, and finally the "infotainment/GPS" system warns me about distractions. While the car is running, there are lots of various indicators on the dash, and the infotainment system that tell me the car is ON. If someone is too uh, "dim" to miss all that... I wonder about their ability to safely drive.
