It may be that driving without the seatbelt after having had it on since I was 9 creates such caution.
If you really want to create caution, gently tape a potato chip (crisp) to your brake pedal. Leave enough space at one corner so you can avoid crunching it to get the car started and in gear, but otherwise, drive in a manner to avoid crushing the chip. Drive without brakes. Of course there's a punishment if you fail. You'll have to go to the car wash and vacuum your floor mats. I dare you to try it!
