my parents and i used to drive to my grandparents' house almost every weekend, and we had to take the highway to get there. we'd usually come back at night, so everyone's headlights were on. i was absolutely convinced, until i was about 6 or 7, that the lane we were in (where i could see the taillights of cars in front of us) was the lane for cars with red lights, and the other lane (where i could see the headlights if oncoming traffic) was the lane with cars with white lights.
