I can think of 3 scenarios (off the top of my head) where you may need to take the keys with you while leaving (ADULTS) in a running car. I agree that the common sense thing to do is to just leave the key fob with the passengers...but sometimes you may need to take your keys with you.
This may not apply to everyone or every situation but...here's some of my reasons to take the key/key fob with me:
- short jaunt into the post office to check my post office box (box key is on same key ring with comfort access fob & I don't have a quick release key ring)
- short jaunt into the grocery store (need to swipe small shopper's card to get discounted price and collect points)
- drop by work to leave or pick up something and need the electronic security fob to get into the building (again, no quick release to remove the fob from the key ring)
In all the scenarios above...you may have passengers that may not want to leave the vehicle because you're only going to be gone for a few minutes...and if they remain in the vehicle...they may want or need the engine running and leaving your key ring with the car's comfort access fob isn't possible because you need to use something (a key, a security fob, or store card).
