Only allow vehicle engines to be turned off at speeds < 5 MPH
The suggestion is extremely simple - Make it so the player can only turn off the vehicle engine when either stopped or going at a very low speed. Not to mention other servers, but I've seen similar keybinds used for vehicle off/on but one thing I saw in one that stuck out was that vehicles can only be turned off when stopped.
This is good for a few reasons. 1. It's more realistic. It's typically something you can't do IRL, which is to turn a vehicle off using the ignition while the vehicle is in drive and moving.
2. It stops the very minor issue of some of the more fat-fingered (me) players from accidentally cutting the engine while driving at a high speed, and what comes with that is a significant delay in being able to cut it back on and put it back in drive. Not sure why that delay is there, but I assume it's a bug. Implementing this very simple adjustment would completely eliminate this issue, in my opinion.
As for cons, I can't really think of one except for a 'stealth' reason, but that doesn't make much sense because most people would probably just go in foot rather than killing an engine at high speed and rolling up to enemies. That's a stretch for a con.
All in all, this is just a really nice QoL adjustment, in my opinion.

Simplest solution is go under the Echo RP section in key bindings and move or unbind your ignition keys and just use your F9 vehicle UI.

Well things I'd like to point out and why I disagree with making this a thing is because you can put cars in neutral and achieve this.
And considering tons of cars IC technically are manual transmission based on the fact the presence of a clutch pedal.
Forcing this feature on people who don't want it wouldn't be fair.
