There is no absolute right or wrong concerning the clutch/starter interlock. I've had plenty of cars that work one way or the other. It's really about how much risk one is willing to accept. Where there is no downside to minimizing risk, it makes sense to do so. For me there is no downside to interlocking the clutch and starter, so I prefer it that way to minimize risk. For others, it is inconvenient or intolerable to have the interlock. They have their reasons and are willing to accept a little more risk and believe that they adequately compensate for it. Time will tell.

I have bypassed some safety features in various circumstances. At times I feel they don't apply to my particular situation, or that they they are so inconvenient that they are worth removing and accepting additional risk. With many standards that are forced upon us, there is some statistical reason for it's existence. We rarely learn what stats caused the standard to be formulated. Maybe the best that we can do is do a bit of deep thinking as to why the standard (interlock) was imposed upon us to determine if the problem really applies to us and to what degree.
