Not all cars are automatic. You might need to get hold of a hand instead.

Huh ? It's even simpler to put a manual car in neutral without the key. You could even push start it.

The main problem would be having a locked driving wheel (common in France), which may make pushing it 5 meters away impractical/impossible without lifting the front wheels.

I will do my best never to make a joke on HN again.
