Surely thats less secure than just leaving your door handles on??

it is only illigal if there is no means of getting in the car from the outside, some people just leave the boot standard to get around it. But i thought the button sorts it out as it does the same job as a handle really.

Also, if you are in an accident, how are the emergency services going to access you in your car??

if u have buttons then its LEGAL - u need a manual means of entrance to both front doors 
 
i have no buttons or handels, its all done off the alarm 
 
i might have an override button, but im not saying   
 
ps - buy a VERY reliable alarm beforhand mate
