What does a Nuetral Safety Switch for your Car do?

I am selling my car privately and I want to be able to explain what this does. Thank you for any info on this question.|||It prevents you from starting the engine unless the vehicle is in park or netural.|||It keeps the car from being started while in gear. If you try to start a car in gear it would roll either forward or backwards depending on which gear the car is in. This will avoid bumper thumpers, or worse yet, hitting a person around the car.|||A neutral safety switch, or an inhibitor switch prevents your vehicle from being started in gear, as starting in gear will bring hazard to the driver and people in front/behind the vehicle.|||Yes it does keep car from starting in gear, -- but it also makes it easier to start -- though this may not be a "safety hazzard",- it is convenient if engine starts easily (witholt churning transmision "in gear"parts too)!





The clutch "safety switch" does essentially the same thing!-- I disconnect the one in my vehicles though, as I find it useful to move car off road if it stops running, - cranking in first gear is a lot simpler and quicker than getting out in traffic and trying to push car out of way! Of course having driven since 1952, - I am used to this -- older cars did not have all this "safety stuff" on them!!|||its there for safety so your car wont start, unless its its either in park or neutral, and i think your reverse lights are hooked up there too.
