Dog, no, the starter should NOT engage while driving down the road! When I purchased my '53 Cavalier, it was doing the same thing and chewed my starter gear right down to the nub. What I did eventually (it kind of angered some of the members here, but for me its cheap piece of mind), I installed a toggle switch in the starter wire. This way, I know that the starter CAN'T engage unless I want it to and throw the switch.
