Normally people only have 2-3 house key attach to their car keychain.
Well my problem is I got about 8 house key attach to my BMW keychain.
I kind of heavy too, plus the 3x3 picture attach to the keychain.
While I was driving, my leg accidentally hit the keychain which in-turn switch the key position to #2. The car stops response right away. I can't steer the car to any direction except straight. Good thing no cars behind me. I had to stop the car and restart the engine again. The car function back to normal again
If you like me, just be careful.

Thanks for the heads-up. I always go against having too many keys going along with car key. This will cause your car key slot sag and loose over time.

Man that's scary...

I am very afraid of scratching the fine leather key pouch that comes with the car, and the epoxy logo on the key. So I always carry the car keys by itself in the pouch, and the house/office/storage/mailbox/front gate/confidential file cabinet/warehouse keys are kept separately.

I dont even have a key change in my key. Just the plain key and nothing else.
I am against anything that is bulki in my pocket.

You have to see my wallet too! (I forget it most of the time in my office)
