| His cluster was flashing constantly, warning him of imminent doom. And it was warning him correctly, because he was accustomed to driving incorrectly.

In the cars I've driven, the cluster flashes all happen regardless of how you drive. The speed limit changes and crosswalk indications and so on, will always trigger. (Unless you disable them -- however, in a foreign country, where I don't understand the customs quite as well, I was willing to tolerate the annoyance to reduce my odds of running afoul of the local constabulary).

The one exception is the speed limit indicator continues to flash if you dare exceed the posted (or, sometimes imagined) limit.

It’s possible that my car (NA market 2023 Nissan EV) just isn’t as “vocal”, but as a relatively new driver I’ve found myself changing my habits to not anger the machine. These days it rarely gripes at me.

Arguably some of them are useful (speed? as much as I hate to say it).

I don't think the "don't drive anywhere near the edge of the lane" is a good practice. There are lots and lots and lots of good, pro-safety reasons to come near the edge of a lane, or even cross over it, and I'm not sure it's helpful to train drivers to stay in the geometric center of the lane. For example it's one of the things I hate about autopilot the most, the car tries too aggressively to center itself.
