Default Re: 2008 Prius Touring Automatic Door Locks in Drive?

Correct ken. The early doors were more secure in accidents when locked but that was changed by law in the 1980s if I recall correctly.

Now I have talked to many EMTs (my brother works for BC Ambulance), and they all say it's better when the crashed vehicle doors are NOT locked. They don't have to break windows to get in to save your life.
