I used to believe that it was against the law to have your window down while on the motorway, because everytime we would go out in the car, just as we were getting on the motorway my dad would shout "shut the window!". I believed it until I was 17, and only now have found out that it was due to the car going faster when there was no wind coming in - thanks dad!
