Tell her to pay attention to her dash when she steps out. Or don't let her drive. I've threatened the gf's driving priviledges a few times, and that straightened her out in a hurry.




There are people that hear pretty good but certain 'tones' do not register as loudly. You say you 'threatened your gf's driving priviledges and straightnend her out....wow..hard to believe in this day and age any woman would feel threatened.

Thumbs up

Thank you! I am NOT likely to be 'straightened out' as it is my car - and I am the one who always manages to find the keys when they have been mislaid...

When my 'little reminders', like the piece of pipecleaner on the doorhandle, work... but then there is always the time when someone distracts me when I am in the middle of my 'turning everything off' ritual...

i've left my lights on before..

my trick is to always glance back at my car when walking away (and who wouldn't, it's so freakin AWESOME LOOKING) and double check that i turned off my lights....

i disabled the audible warning the first week i had the car. no door ding, no headlight reminder, no ignition reminder, nothing... 5 years later and i can count the number of times i've left my lights on... well.. using my hands and feet
