My g/f always does it when she drives me... it's so annoying, i never lock mine. It gets annoying when you want to get out of the car, yet the doors are still locked.
When I put the car in drive, it locks automatically, and when I turn off the engine, it unlocks... never even have to think about it.
No, because I have a can of mace in my car and a tire iron in the trunk. I dare someone to try and pull me out of my car.
Doesn't locking the doors also help against the door popping open (and you getting ejected) in the event of a crash/flip? I could have sworn I read that somewhere.......

Also You < desperate thugs
Some how, from those simple calculation, it's safe to say that you didn't do much thinking.
If it's in a really nasty neighborhood or I'm driving an exceptional distance I'll sometimes lock my car but I usually don't think about it. I guess that's what I get for growing up in a small town. As far as I'm concerned, the door lock is there to keep someone from breaking into my car when its parked.

Knives don't really intimidate me, a knife wound is too clean to kill instantly unless its dead on for the heart, and the combination of mace + my ability to fight would protect me in that situation. A gun I would be more worried about. Most likely I'd hand over the car, but it would depend on the circumstances, traffic, and how lucky/pissed off I was that day.
If my doors didn't automatically unlock when opened from the inside I wouldn't, but they do so I do.
I never lock my doors when I'm driving. Don't see the point to it. And I don't exactly consider myself "retarded", but whatever.

gun > locked or unlocked door.
I do most of the time, but sometimes I forget. It also depends how many people in the car.

WTF? Yeah, a knife wound to the gut that perforates your colon wouldn't kill you or anything.

The key word was instantly, you illiterate ingrate. You'd have to be pretty damn skilled with a knfe to, after being maced, be able to aim for any place that is life threatening enough to kill before paramedics arrive.
I don't think someone who gets sprayed in the face with mace has a snowballs chance in hell of doing anything life threatening to me with a knife. I've been in fights before, I know how to defend myself, and I would not idly stand by a be a victim in that situation.
And, like all things in life, it would depend on a lot of factors. I wouldn't take my chances in a really bad neighborhood (not that I drive around in really bad neighborhoods anyway), and I probbably would weigh my chances more carefully if I was far away from a hospital. If I got carjacked in my day to day routine, I most likely wouldn't hand the car over as there are just too many other options, including just driving away. Who carjacks a car during a traffic jam?
Not to mention guys don't get carjacked that often. Its something that usually happens to women.
Have to get in the habit of doing it now that I have this new car. The other car I used to drive would lock the door automatically at about 15mph.
