Are our cars hack proof?

All of these younger generation doesn't know how to drive manual transmission.

That's only in the US I guess. Most cars in Holland are stickshift. If you've obtained your license in a car with automatic transmission, you're not allowed to drive a stickshift.

That's just not true.

The stolen cars are destined for markets outside the Schengen zone, because driving them in the Schengen zone is close to impossible (without being caught), and therefore are subject to crossing border and police checks.
Smuggling cars into markets where they can actually be sold/driven is (and has been) very much the remit of organized crime who are well equipped to evade border and other checks.

That's a good law.
How about if you have license for stick shift, can you drive the automatic or need another license too?

What about the Viper car security systems? The lcd 2 way system? Has anyone tried ? Does it have immobilizer or OBD kill abilities?

With normal license (stick shift) you can drive both automatic and stick shift.

Has anyone installed a working kill switch recently and have any advice or tips beyond a simple switch? I had a 79 Z28 and used one, but it was simple on a simple car.
