Durban motorist shoots 'thief' who tried to stab and rob him

[Pudding McTwinkle]

It's not. at least not in mine.

I have a2018 jimny fun build, the doors don't lock themselves either.

There’s one way to find things out on mybb:

Does your car have auto-locking doors?

Does your car have auto-locking doors?

OR...here's a thought: lock your doors manually while driving around ANY city in South Africa.

damn why didn't manufacturers think of that?

 

[Craig_]

So why does your exception to the rule apply in this case AND supersede all the evidence to the contrary?

You're just here to argue obviously...

All I think he was saying was that you can't just assume all car have it. Plus in this case it's anyway wrong as that is a new model Hilux in the photo and it should have it.

 

[ForceFate]

My current car has all the bells and whistles but the doors do not auto-lock while driving.

Some are programmable.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Lol. Okay then. My 2010 Civic doesn't have it- and it's the top spec model in the line, it has all of the other features available for that car at the time.

Just because YOUR car does have a feature doesn't mean you get to dismiss everyone else out of hand.

Your 2010 civic just needs it programmed in. I had to do that on my 2009 civic.

 

[ForceFate]

I've never heard of anything like that. It is a very standard application in vehicles...even quite old ones.

Maybe check your manual and see if it is something that has to be enabled.

Not the case with small Chevrolets and some standard bare bone bakkies. At least the ones I've driven.

From all accounts, even the guys in the UK and Europe haven't managed to do that , how did you, and where?

Followed some guide on the web somewhere and it worked... But it was about 4 years ago that I did it.

They say he was “parked at an intersection”, so maybe he was simply parallel parked near an intersection and hadn’t actually started up as yet? Auto locks tend to trigger when you’re moving at above a set speed.

Many maybe's now crawling out the woodwork. Maybe there is an intersection near his house, but he was parked inside his garage?

Feel good stories.

But also, IOL, so probably made up.

No one would have minded if a second shot had been fired and killed the bastard. Would suck for the victim, but they would have done the public quite a bit of a public service.

 

[Brontosaurus]

Should have been a better shot and got him in the head.

They were all in love with dying; they were drinking from a fountain

What car is that? I've had 4 cars in 15 years that all have auto-lock doors, sure my Clio I had to set that up, are you sure you just don't need to do that?

Autolock when vehicle in motion

Morning all, Recently purchased a Vitara for my wife - the new 2019 face lifted model. I noticed the doors don"t auto-lock when the vehicle is in motion. I assumed it was just a factory setting that needed to be changed, but on inquiry I'm told no Suzuki vehicles have this function ? Is...
