What do cars have locks on them?

Question

Is the point of car locks for security or for keeping you safe while driving?

Answer 1

Mostly to keep your stuff from being stolen, including the car itself and to keep muggers and rapists from hiding in the back seat and getting you at night.

But also for driving safety, tho' to a much lesser degree.  I knew one girl who had been thrown out of a car when the door flew open going around a corner, which probably wouldn't have happened if the door was locked.

Answer 2

because people dont respect the idea that what is mine is mine and what is yours is yours. other than that they just do not see the shot gun.  

Answer 3

Keeps honest people out, but doesn't slow down the determined criminal.  

Answer 4

A lock keeps someone out of something they shouldnt be getting in to. Like people trying to steal something out of your car, or jump in your car with you, etc...

Answer 5

To keep the people that think they should have a car but don't work for one, out of the car that I work for.
