Can we turn the ignition key and switch the car off?

No you can't usually while the car is in drive and if you've ever had your car run out of gas you know this is a horrible idea because you lose power steering and power brakes. When you use the key to shut the car off you get the added entertainment of trying to steer your car with a locked steering column.

Put the car in neutral and apply the brakes, dont shut the car off until it stops.
