Exactly this. Had the engine been running already, without the auto cut-out when the car stops, the same situation would occur.

Yeah I don't know if all people would be in the right frame of mind to remember that their car is in take-off mode if they get whacked up the clacker when stopped. Imagine you are waiting at a red light in serene silence when whoomph you get shunted forward. You look in your mirror, the silence which was so rudely interrupted has returned so you whip off your seatbelt and go to hop out and whaaheyyyy! Off you drive....

I'm not saying that everyone will do ths but some may.
