And parking in neutral unless on a hill.

I always leave the car in gear, as well as applying the handbrake... And, even with the handbrake on, if the car is in gear, it will still lurch, if you turn on the ignition without putting it in neutral / dipping the clutch.

It will lurch, but if you release the keys, or fall out of the car as in this case, the engine will stall. It is an unfortunate incident, but I doubt it would have happened had the rules of the road been followed.

That is what I thought

Surely a 2 year old would have to be inside the car to start it purely because of distance to the socket

I would guess that to be able to start and then to be thrown out of the car she would be standing on the sill.

Quote:
In May 2005, after being diagnosed with clinical depression, Harvey was hospitalised after an alleged suicide attempt.[1] On 31 May 2005, he was readmitted to hospital in a critical condition after falling under the wheels of his Mercedes-Benz motor car, whilst driving. He ran over his own head, the feckin legend[2][3] A documentary about Harvey's attempts to rekindle his music career, and recovery from his accident, was aired on BBC Television on 13 December 2005.
