Its not safe but its no more unsafe than a manual in gear. There is no NSS for the manuals.

Its the purple wires.

It is more unsafe because the car won't start to move until the engine actually starts, and then it can start with some force. With a manual, the car will start to jerk as soon as you engage the starter, but there won't be a lot of power.

I do not know about that one...If the manual is left in 1st or Reverse, I have seen starters that has enough torque to pull the manual tranny over a 2x4. Granted that was on a gasser, but either way...just replace the NSS.
