I used to think that if I took my eyes from the road for just one moment while my parents were driving, we'd immediately get in an accident. Even late at night, I'd strain to stay awake, peering from the backseat at the road, completely convinced it was my gaze keeping the car in the lane and all other cars away.
I was a very paranoid child.
