Those moments the key is not in the on position are when there can be issues. I don't judge others, as I have driven, pulled my key out, reached my lock box, opened it, and put the key back in and ON- so no judgment, but learning how easy a KS is for a dope like me, EOC is so much safer and better. Keep all safety, and don't lose any miles.
The risk is what can happen in that moment. Driving to GGP2014, a possum ran into the road in front of me. My navigator wasn't buckled in, and was repositiong, and I thought he busted his head open from the swift natural reaction. Had I been keying off then, I could have locked the wheel, and who knows. What if it was a deer?
Is it LIKELY? No. Is it entirely possible? Absolutely. The thing is, IF it happens, it will be bad. Will the seat belt lock?Air bags? Onstar? Any other things working in the background I don't even realize? I don't plan my life to live in the 99%, I plan to survive the 1%. Hope for the best, plan for the worst. But that's me.
