What happens if you turn your key off while driving?
If you do it when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, the steering wheel will be locked so that it cannot turn and the transmission will be locked to the Park mode. In that condition, you won’t be able to drive the car because the transmission, steering, and engine won’t work in that case.

What happens if you turn the key while the car is on?

What happens if you turn the key for too long?
If you keep the key turned long enough (as could happen in a noisy environment where you can’t hear the grinding sound), the front portion of the ring gear will wear down and the starter pinion gear will blunt, this might cause the pinion gear to jam to the ring gear the next time you try to start the engine.
What happens if you start your car when its already started?
It’s more often the flywheel — which is the larger gear that the starter gear meshes with. They’re both pretty tough, and accidentally starting the car when it’s already running once in a blue moon probably will not do any damage. If it’s done repeatedly, though, you can wear down or break a tooth on the flywheel.

Can you leave a diesel truck running while fueling?
In practice, refueling with diesel fuel, while the engine is running, is non-hazardous. If you drop a lighted match into a pool of diesel oil, the match will go out. It is very hard to ignite the oil in bulk. It has to be in a very hot environment, of atomised by the car’s injectors, before it will ignite.
