Le starter has NOTHING to do with your driving....it has only to do with your STARTING.

Fuel injectors (multiple) would have to plug, more likely plugged cat, dying/weak battery, low alternator output, or perhaps a loose MAF (airbox sensor) plug

Even a possibility of a bad ignition switch. Do the dash lights and radio and everything turn off when the car dies

My eg did it. Turns out it was the stock anti theft system that wasn't even hooked up to The battery had ended up grounding out on the chassis killing the engine and immobilizing the starter.

Btw your car doesn't have a "stater" dirt bikes and quads and such do.
