When I was little driving in the car with my father, I almost pulled up the emergency brake. He told me that it was the lever for the ejector seat and if I pulled it I would be thrown from the car. I believed this until I started driving.

I thought when you click the button on a traffic light all the cars in the world shut off so you could cross the street!

up until I took drivers ed I thought that the speed limit sighns showed the speed you were not allowed to go. this came from everyone slowing down when they saw a cop. I never knew that people allways drive faster than the speed limit.

When i was little i used to see those Wrong Way signs and i spent years wondering how they knew where people were supposed to be going.
I used to believe that cars knew which way to turn and the turn signal came on by itself. Because I could never see my mom switch on the turn signal. So I thought the car was reading her mind and when she wanted to turn, the car knew and turned the signal on.

When I was 4 my father used to be a gunner on the large B-52 airplanes. Living on base near the flight strip was loud to say the least. Everytime a B-52 flew overhead, I thought it was going to dump cheese on our house. I STILL have no clue where I got such an insane idea from.
I am one of those rare colorblind females. I have protanomaly, which causes me to see less red than a person with normal color vision would. Therefore, most shades of red appear to be orange to me.
Just today, I was in the car with my mother and she sped past a stop sign and nearly hit someone. It scared the hell out of me. So then I began to yell at her.
Me: You idiot! I almost pissed myself for a second there! YOU STOP AT THE BIG ORANGE SIGN THAT SAYS "STOP" ON IT!
Mother: Orange? You mean red...
And that's when she began laughing hysterically. To think I didn't know this for fourteen years... XD

A friend of mine actually believed this story that her dad told her. They were driving one day and she asked her dad what the bumps were in the middle of the road (road reflectors). He told her that it was brail so that blind people can drive.
i am 15 and up until 2 years ago i thought the orange and white transmitters near the airport were the whole thing!! when i was little everytime we'd ride by my mom would point to them and say look there is the airport...i never knew she ment behind the transmitters...and i couldnt ever figure out how a plane could land on that little bitty thing!!
i used to think the traffic signs with the arrows pointing up (forward) and down(backward) ment that you drove your car up in the sky and under ground...what was i thinking?
I used to believe that the cats eyes in the road...reflectors...were the eyeballs from real cats.
I used to believe that the only people who rode in limos were famous. Every time one passed by our car I would try to sit and act in a way that I thought would impress some movie hot shot. I thought they would track me down through our license plate and ask me to be the next child star!

My whole life until I was 7 I used to believe that there were little men inside the traffic lights changing the colours every minute!

When I was a kid, I knew that a "dead end" was where the road ended before joining another road, but I thought that if you drove down to a dead end, you couldn't go back and you had to stay there until you died. Hence the term "dead end".

As a child I believed the sky was a solid blue layer. It was quite obvious therefore that vapour trails were where planes scratched the sky.

When I was young, there was a traffic light at an interection near my house that went out ever now and then. I used to think that some guy drove around in his car and threw something out the window that magicly made the traffic lights go out.
I thought that if I blew wind out from my lips at the red light it would turn green magically.

My dad told me that when he pressed a button his truck would fly. So i thought that the overdrive button meant the truck would go over things and i never touched that button.
