I used to believe that the arrows on road signs that point upward (meaning forward) were meant for the roads in the sky. I always wondered why my parents never took that road, I used to imagine that the road was probably invisible, I dont know what I was expecting to find up there, and Im still yet to find out how to get to them....lol

I used to believe…
"no Parking Between 9 to 5 "
The sign read.
I could never figure that out.
9 is usually AFTER 5.
AND....I was 7....and I couldn't even see over the dash board let alone DRIVE!
So even if i could drive...i never saw a sign letting me know where I "could" park.
I used to believe that the law on drink driving meant u couldn't drink anything as you drove along.
I was terrified my dad would get arrested so i told my dad off for doing it but he only laughed I just thought he was brave!
I used to believe…
on a clear day with a brilliant blue sky i asked my dad once why there was a scratch in the sky...i thought maybe god scratched the sky. he thought that was really sweet but explained to me that it was the contrail from an airplane. i must have been about 4 or 5.
sometimes i like to pretend that god scratched the sky.

There used to be kids, wherever we drove, who would hide at the sides of the road and throw stones at me and the car I was in. I'd always peek out of the windows, looking for them, but I never caught a glimpse. They must be extremely good at hiding, I guessed.
Not until much later did I realise that the stones thrown by these evil kids were just the tyres throwing up gravel against the car.
I used to believe that cars could read your mind and knew whether you were going to turn left or right and thats how your indicators worked. I didnt realise they were controlled by the driver until I was about 11. Dense!!!!
I used to believe…
When I was about ten years old I thought that the statement on our local buses "Spitting is prohibited" "Offenders will be prosecuted" meant that if you spat on the bus you would have your head chopped off. I very rarely opened my mouth when riding on a bus, for several years.
I used to believe…
Until I was around 22 (yes, I know) I could never understand the signs on motorways that said "Slow Lorries". I thought there must be a depot of lorries which couldn't travel very fast. It was only when I mentioned this to one of my friends that she laughed and pointed out these signs were always at the bottom of hills!
I used to believe…
Whilst in the car I asked my mum where's that music coming from. She said 'WHERE d'you think! Its a man underneath the car'
For a long time I believed you could turn the knob in the car and the man
would sing to you.

I used to believe that new cars always went faster than old cars, and was made up one day when our old car overtook a flashy new car!
I used to think that when the weatherman said Wind Chill Factor He saying Windshield Factor, and was talking about how cold your car's windshield would be. (I always wondered why that ws so important.)

When I was 6 I went on a plane for the first time, My dad asked about visiting the Cockpit but I refused to go because I thought It was a huge Cob web (sounds allot like cockpit) in the clouds but I wouldnt go because I thought I was gonna fall off if I saw a big spider!
I used to believe…
Just before my friend's first journey on a plane, her brother told her that if she did a poo in the toilets, then the poo will go out of the plane and land on earth. He said to her that a few people got injured due to flying poo. She still believes in this even though she is 22!

Whenever I used to hear people talking about drink driving I used to assume it was just drinking any drink, ie. coke while you were actually at the wheel.
I used to believe…
When I was 5 or 6, I thought that a car wash was a car wish and that if you drove your car in you could wish for whatever car you wanted. I could never figure out why my parents didn't take advantage of this great invention! I wish I could now!
I used to believe…
When I was younger, I used to believe that the beams of light from streetlights used to pull the car along, I never could work out how the car moved during the day when the lights weren't on!
I thought there was a man in a control room who controlled all the traffic lights in the country...when you pushed the crossing button he saw it and changed the lights.
hall of fame
I used to believe…
My parents used to tell us that if we blew at the traffic lights hard enough it would change. Must've been hilarious for them watching us puffing away!

When I was about five or six in the early 1950s I was sat in the back of the family's 1940s Hillman (UK make of car)and overheard my father talking about a new idea to UK motoring - The SELF DRIVE CAR!!!
The thought of being in one terrified me. Do we all sit in the back and have to go where the SELF DRIVE CAR wants takes us???
I used to believe…
This is one my mother actually believed...way into her forties!!
She thought that airplanes had wire hanging down from them for the telephones they had onboard!!! Needless to say she is slightly nutty my Mam!
