do you turn the radio off before getting out of the car?


I was watching this movie 'Clemency' and there is a scene where a character is parked and listening to something on the radio which is upsetting her. She turns the radio off and then turns the car off and gets out. I am thinking no one would would turn the radio off.

That seems like something I noticed people do when I was little. Was it somehow possible that the radio could drain the battery? Or maybe people just though it could?

I’m doing good if I remember to turn the car off. The radio? No.

I used to... I tend to listen to the radio rather loud, so I would turn it off so I wouldn’t get blasted when I got back in and turned the car on.

My current car has a radio that automatically comes on at a pre-set low volume, no matter how loud it was when I turned the car off, so I don’t turn it off any more.

No.
However, I might turn it down.

reply

Correct.

I'm a lower the volume as I am always playing full blast.

reply

Same here. I always turn down the volume before I open the door but I never shut it off.

I don't now but I used to when I owned much older cars...it's what the neighborhood dads all told the kids to do
