‘My car door locks automatically when the car is put into drive.’

Unfortunately, my 13 year old still dependable Buick, UNlocks the doors when put into ‘Park!’ Even that long ago on test-driving the car, I saw the possible problem of hoodlums entering uninvited. . .

I’ve trained myself to immediately power-lock the doors upon parking, and manually unlock the driver’s side to exit. Then, of course, to lock that door with the key fob.

PS
Also, I NEVer use the auto key fob to open the doors until I’m right next to my car to hop right in.
Can’t tell you how often I see people unlock their doors half a block away. . .

While I’m at it, can we get car manufacturers to stop the fightening ‘beep’ when some cars are automatically locked and unlocked - ???
Can’t tell you how often I’m near a car ‘going off’ & I must jump a foot off the ground - stupid and annoying and unnecessary.
