I just found out this morning that some new cars that have a digital instrument panel will display a message on the screen when you shut off the engine. I don't remember the exact wording of the one I saw, but it was something like, "Check Back Seat for Occupants." Probably not a bad idea, since very occasionally, someone will forget they've got a sleeping baby in the back, and the baby or toddler suffers heat stroke or even dies by the time someone realizes that he or she is still in the car.
I told my wife that cars should have a special startup message for Tennessee drivers. I suggest, "How about we use those turn signals today?" My wife suggested, "Don't throw your trash out the window." I love my new home state and wouldn't want to live anywhere else, but those two behaviors annoy me.
If you could designate a startup message for the drivers in your state, what would it be?

I'm kind of an impatient driver.
