If I forgot I left my stick in a gear when I start my car up and if that caused me to crash, can I sue Toyota for not making it "more" obvious?

Car won't start without pressing clutch, whether it's in gear or not.
They need all the nannies to achieve the 5 star safety rating, be it ANCAP, Euro NCAP or NHTSA.
In the end it's easy enough to defeat the nannies if you want.
Some niche manufacturer will drop safety ratings, because it isnt going to effect the sales.
Look at the Jeep Wrangler and Ford Mustang for cars that score poorly, hell, the Jeep scores a 1.
Same for super cheap budget cars, the Fiat Panda scores a big far 0.
The twins are a budget sports car with a 5 star rating, mums and dads are happy to buy one for their kids, if they weren't 5 star, they wouldn't sell as many.
Big kids, me included, can just take that couple of seconds to set up their car, In the knowledge that when the kids borrow it, it has reset and all the safety features are enabled.
Disabling safety features is a real first world problem.
