Facts About Steering Locks

Steering locks cause harm and death by locking a vehicle's steering while driving. Steering locks, introduced in 1969, are a failed anti-theft device that eliminates the need for electrical system knowledge to steal a vehicle. The steering lock can be defeated in under 60 seconds allowing the engine then to be started. Auto theft has tripled since 1969! Steering lock warning and education helps prevent accidents and auto theft. There are safe and effective anti-theft steering lock alternatives. Most major auto makers are well underway in replacing the steering lock with modern, safe and effective, auto theft prevention technology. Steering locks represent two major extremely unsafe design errors: They are spring loaded, ignoring the fact that springs have built in metal fatigue, and therefore must eventually malfunction, or wear out. The ignition key that deactivates the engine, should never have been combined with a device that simultaneously locks the steering.
