However, when the doctor lent on the starter button and it was in gear, the car shifted forward! In the "wtf" moment there someone hit the wipers, and they were working too!

So please, let's not jump to conclusions, and let's not trust kill switches too much!

(ensuring it is out of gear is a useful one to avoid the car movement detailed above.)

I have heard that some, electrically operated, master switches have a "push off, push on" action.

So one person pushes the button and the remote master is electrically turned off. Along comes the next person and presses the button again and the master switch is turned on.

Poor design IMHO.
