I was once towed by my father when my Cortina broke down in the town. As we set off on the straight road I forgot to undo the steering lock.
The end of the high street was a sharp left bend to traffic lights, 2 lanes. As he turned in the left lane and stopped, my steering locked after a slight turn, and I found myself neatly next to him in the second lane. Luckily there wasn't a car in my way but the quizical look on his face asking me what the hell I was doing next to him rather than behind remains with me.
I never forgot the steering lock again.
