How do you bypass a starter to start a car?
You typically can't bypass the starter - that is, after all, what actually turns the engine over to start the vehicle. If you have a manual shift vehicle, it is possible to roll start the vehicle. The key needs to be in the on position. You would roll the vehicle while it's in neutral, jump in, and shift it into gear.
What is coasting in a car?

Two unoccupied cars. One rolls and hits another parked car. Who would be at fault?
The moving car is at fault. Say you parked on a hill and asked someone to look under the car then put it in neutral. The car rolled and they were injured. Do you really think because you were no longer in a car that they could not charge you. Of course this is minor and what caused the car to roll is not stated. If the car was in park or not on an incline it should not roll.
How can you start your car if the starter is bad?
Manual cars can be started with a bad starter due to the ability to roll start the car. Automatic transmission cars are not so lucky. To roll start a manual car all you need to do is put the car in gear with the key in the "on" position, push in the clutch, get the car to roll, then quickly release the clutch. The transmission will slam into the engine and force it to turn. Don't forget to push the clutch back in once it starts or the car will stall.
