Only problem is, when ya shut the ignition switch off you lock the steering and lose power brakes.
Also, CHP was HIT by the car, not driving it.

The driver didn't understand how to shut the engine off apparently. This car was equipped with a push button starter circuit. To turn it off while in gear you must hold the starter button down several seconds.

Read your drivers manual folks.
