  • a storing medium which stores a specific identification code;

    media accommodating means which is provided at a vehicle and can accommodate said storing medium thereinto;

    communication means which can communicate with said storing medium in a state in which said storing medium has been accommodated in said media accommodating means;

    operation means which is operable between a run-inhibiting position which inhibits the running of the vehicle and a run-enabling position including an engine starting position, and which has a verification position between the run-inhibiting position and the run-enabling position so as to judge true or false for said storing medium;

    steering lock means which inhibits the rotation of a steering shaft in a state in which said operation means has been set to the run-inhibiting position;

    steering lock cancellation means which cancels a state inhibiting the rotation of the steering shaft due to said steering lock means in a state in which said operation means has been set to said run-enabling position;

    operation-inhibiting means which inhibits said operation means from changing a position between said run-inhibiting position and said run-enabling position; and

    identification-enabling means which, when said operation means has been set to the verification position, reads an identification code stored in said storing medium via said communication means, identifies whether or not the identification code read and a register code which has been registered previously correspond to each other, and, when said identification code read and the register code correspond to each other, permits to effect a position changing operation between said run-inhibiting position and said run-enabling position.
