cars

I used to believe that turning the steering wheel back and forth was what made the car move. So when I was 4 and I rode, with my dad, the cars that went around a track at Disney World, I turned the steering wheel back and forth rapidly and ignored the pedals. My dad had to control the pedals and eventually take the wheel for the car to go anywhere.

I used to believe that the automatic toll booths on the highway, where you press a button and a ticket comes out, had ants working inside the booth to carry each ticket on their backs to the slot and push it out.

When i waz younger like 6ish i thought that the sign at the back of truck that said " Air brakes keep back 17m" meant that there waz no air there and u coudnt breathe if u went to close.

I would think that every car that either my mom or dad wasnt driving a ghost was driving

I used to beleive that if you were driving and took your hands on the steering wheel that the car would totally go out of control

I used to believe that car pools were places you went to go swimming without leaving your car. I thought that you would just drive in the water and sit there. I was always dissapointed when my dad never drove 'to the car pool'.

When I was little I asked what the parking brake in my mom's car was for, and she said something about it being for hills. For as long as we had that car I was convinced that you pressed the button on the end of that lever to fire rockets out the back of the car to help you get up steep hills.

i thought that if you rolled up the windows on a hot day the heat would stay out and the car would cool without the air conditioner

i used to think that when you were in a car, you had to push or pull on the window or the car wouldn't make the turn. i belived this till i was 7 or 8

When you're driving on the highway there is this part of the road on the very side that if you drive over it it makes a loud noise to tell the driver that they went over too far. My dad told me it was so that when truckers (or people who'd been driving for a long time) fell asleep It'd make them wake up and start driving again. I thought this until I was 11.

I used to believe that the defroster lines in the back of your car would electrocute you if you touched them. My older sister told me this and I would never go near them.

I used to think that if you held a pencil over a piece of paper while you were in a car, you could make a map. Like, when the car turned the pencil would turn!

Lauren

I used to believe that the car would automatically slow down when we were close to home because the car knew the way home & so knew when we were near the driveway.

When I was a youngin', I believed that the button on the end of the "windshield wiper/cruse control lever", if pressed, would make the car self-destruct...since my mother never told me to touch it.

When iwas little i thought that the Tick tock thing in the car was somehiding in the car making noises.

I used to believe that all other cars on the road had no drivers. Me and my mum were the only people on the road!
