Follow on from Dizis post, do you lock the car whilst driving if the dogs are inside

This is some thing that pops into my mind periodically, while I'm driving I get a vision of the boot door suddenly opening, and feel sick at the thought of any of my 2 falling out on to the road...
I flick the lock on most of the time if I'm driving with them, a habit I got more into as my wee grandson grew.
Has freak accidents like that happened ?

I am paranoid about it too. Always lock the car door now even if the dog is not in there.

I automatically lock the car doors (central locking) every time I get in, basic security, for me and the dogs.

The doors in one of our cars lock automatically once I get above 5mph....

No, i never do. If the tailgate were ever to fling open then i have a tailgate guard which would stop them flying out of the car in the seconds it takes to pull over.

Nope. I would be phobic the other way - have had an accident that knocked me out for a bit, If the car was locked no-one would be able to get in!
Dogs are crated for the most part in mine. (Van)

Actually they would................

Im with Tassle, Im more worried that if there was an accident they wouldnt be able to get to me or the kids.
Im looking for a tailguard, but no success yet.

Yep, firemen and the police always wait for a passenger to open the door in the event of an accident..................

Hopefully - but I would rather they had the easy option of being able to open the door!

I would hope that any central locking would still enable people to get out without too much trouble in the event of an accident.
While Mum was in the Van today - she leant on the lock and triggered the central locking - It actually made me feel very trapped. I Hate the feeling of being locked in like that!!
