Grindman, common sense is very uncommon. I seem to remember that Audi got in trouble here in the USA because of cars mysteriously starting on their own and causing damage (humbug, IMO). The solution was to put a clutch safety switch in place to ensure there is a human being at the wheel when the car starts.
That safety switch became a requirement for all cars with manual transmission.
