There have been various suggestions here for how to avoid driving off with the EHU still connected.
I would add the following method, which is small, light and virtually foolproof:
I made a plastic tag as shown that just fits into the ignition slot (goes in about 4mm) Something about 10mm x 3.5mm suited the keyhole of my Boxer cab.
I wrote Cable on one side and Post on the other so I can also use it to remind me not to try and reverse out of my drive with the security post still there!
You can’t physically start the engine if the tag is in position, which makes it pretty foolproof as I say. To ensure you remember to put it in position in the first place then keep it somewhere obvious, like in the sink, when you are travelling, then you’ll see it when you park up.
An even easier option is to use a piece of plastic from a food container, or the side of a detergent container if you want something more robust, as per the last image. Just be sure it slips easily in and out as you don’t want anything jamming or breaking off in the ignition barrel. That is why I prefer the first option.
