New driving DND-Can I eliminate the "urgent" breakthrough option?

I find the driving DND auto-reply very useful. However, the feature that allows someone to get through the DND by typing urgent defeats the purpose. Is it possible to eliminate this? If it is truly urgent the person can call. Also, the auto-reply that explains how to get through with "urgent" is long and wordy. I drive often and these messages are clogging up my text feeds.

Go to Settings | Do Not Disturb and scroll to the bottom. You can have the Auto-Reply set to No One, Recents, Favorites, or All Contacts. You can also edit your Auto-Reply message. Just note that the auto-reply message is sent and then a separate message is sent about replying "urgent" to send the notification through. You cannot change that secondary message.
