Until I was about 11 I never used to think that cars had pedals, and I thought that you would choose how fast you wanted to go using the gearstick and stop using the handbrake. And until the first time I ever drove a car, I never knew about the clutch pedal - I used to think that you'd just put the car straight into whatever gear you wanted. I was a strange child.
