Or you could just kill the headlights after 5 minutes if you haven't purposefully turned parking lights on, which is a feature you can already find.

poo poo, my 2012 car has a feature where you just leave the lights "on" all the time and the car turns them on only if:

1. The ignition is running.
2. The sensors on the car detect that it's dark enough to need them.

This results in the lights basically running from the time you crank the car until about 5 minutes after you turn the car off the evening commute, so it's not a problem any more.

Having a made-up safety story is Management 101 in a lot of places. Every retail job I had years ago each had managers with a story about how their close friend/associate got blown up/mangled because... they just... weren't careful enough!

:negative:

What about those of us that aren't in Management that have actually seen people lose digits/have limbs crushed because they ignored the warnings on their machines about keeping guards in place during operation?

One guy lost some fingers on his left hand because he didn't wait for the machine tools to finish coming to a stop before sticking his hand into the machining area with an air nozzle intending to blow stubborn chips out of said area after running a part through it.

Another guy has everything below the left elbow get mangled because he didn't respect the machine that scores the raw stock material before it is fed to the extruder.

Yet another guy got caught up in a cloud of steam when the vulcanizer (think big pressure cooker) blew a seal while he was loading extruded parts into the rails that would go into the vulcanizer the next day (this last one was less about ignoring safety warnings and was more on the company, but still, bad poo poo happens in real life).

All of these guys survived, but were mangled by on-the-job equipment safety issues. Not all stories are bullshit.
