One from back when I was a bicycle commuter:
Dear Drivers,
There is a line on the pavement at most intersections called the "Stop Line". The law requires that, if the light is red (or when you arrive at the Stop Sign), you bring your vehicle to a full stop so that no part of your vehicle is in front of, or above, that line.
Failure to do so is legally the same as not stopping at all.
Having trouble finding the line at this intersection? Experience suggest that if you open your driver's door and look back it will be easy to spot. It is probably right in front of your rear wheel.
As a guy who was going to be crossing your path in the crosswalk, and who has the right-of-way because that light is red, I really appreciate you not stopping until your front bumper is in the crosswalk (if you stopped at all).
Nothing makes you aware of just how bad the average driver has become like stripping off all your collision armor and going among them on a bicycle, keenly aware that if they do something stupid that causes a crash you are going to the hospital while they probably won't even need to repaint.
