in the user manual for my car instructs drivers not to cut the engine off while driving.
therefore any accident that can be blamed on delibirate cutting the engine off might be blamed on impropper opperation.

i found the safest way to eoc is to keep the vehicle in gear (5th) and depress the clutch,

in an imergency just letting out the clutch will instantly restart the engine, and restore full braking and power steering,... the wheels powering these systems from the second the clutch is released.

i'd advice anyone eoc-ing to practice what they would do in case something happenes...
