Forgetfulness is a poor excuse. Besides, if you forget a few times and have to call for a boost, the lesson will be well learned and you'll quit forgetting! For twenty years I drove a vehicle without auto lights or driving lights, and built in the habit of right hand on key, left hand on light switch when starting and stopping. It takes no more thought than turning the key.
When you consider the fact that all that's separating vehicles on many roads is a thin line painted on the pavement and those vehicles have an average closing speed of 100 mph, safe driving becomes a big responsibility.
