We are talking about the auto locking in the Mini's and BMW's. Car locks once you reach 10 mph and unlock automatically when you stop and turn off the ignition. If your just dropping people off and havn't managed to get to the button or have forgotten you usually find that your passenger has already pulled at the door handle rather harshly once, this unlocks the door then when they pull the handle again it opens the door. This alos happens when you lock the doors yourself from the indside using the switch on them.

It just looks and sounds a bit like they are going to pull the handle off! This doesn't happen in the Civic when you've locked the doors from inside you, you have to unlock them before they can get out.
