Comment Illegal in the UK? (Score 1) 102
Remote start is illegal in the UK: Rule 123 of the Highway Code states that “you MUST NOT leave a parked vehicle unattended with the engine running or leave a vehicle engine running unnecessarily while that vehicle is stationary on a public road.” “Must not” implies a legal requirement. This law is in place is because people have been killed by cars starting to move when the engine is running and they are unattended. This has happened even when the gearbox is in neutral and with the parking break on. How come starting the car without a human being present is legal in the US?
