transport: cars

i used to believe that whenever the tyre of a car passes over a cigarette butt on the street the car will explode immediately. i was really wondering how could all the drivers avoid passing over the cigarette butts on the street so that all these cars do not explode.

When I was young, my mother told me that the sounds the crosswalks made told the blind people when it was alright to go. For the longest time, I wondered what the heck blind people were doing driving!

When I was small, my sister and I would ride in the car a lot. We were both always trying to figure out who was at the front of the freeway. My sister decided that all freeways led to Washington DC and that the President was at the front.

one day me and my cousin were talking about what we used to believe and she told me this funny story:
When she was little,she thought that convertibles were just regular cars that were broken, but people used anyway. you could imagine how weird it must have been when so many people drove and wanted these cars.

I used to think that there was some kind of portal to my hometown from Southern California, because I recall us driving out of SoCal and suddenly ending up in my hometown: turns out I was just asleep for that whole time but woke up later.

My mom used to tell us kids that if you put your arm out of the car window,that it would fall off.

i used to think that the moon would follow you in the car, also that it looked like a half moon.

i used to believe that drinking and driving was when you were drinking while driving

I usw=ed to (still do!) believe that you should take your coat off when getting into a car on a cold day, so that you can feel the benefit of it when you get out. The same goes for entering houses or shops.

As a child (In UK), I believed that all cars had to drive on the left, except cars that were coming the other way. Of course Police cars and Ambulances were allowed to drive down the middle of the road.

i used to beleive that a traffic jam was wen cars got stuck in jam!

I used to believe my dad when he told me in order to hear each other speak in the car our voices had to travel out to the electical wires that lined the highways. Because we drove so fast this was the only way for voices could keep up.

I used to believe that when people talked about 4x4 trucks, I thought it meant all the wheels turned.

I used to believe that the headrests in cars were made out of ET's head.

when i was younger and for years i used have to run up to somthing before a car would pass. but if the car passed me on the road before i could get to , say a lamp post. somthing bad would happen. i couldnt go asny where without having to do this. it ruined my life

My babysitter told me that I had to sit in a car seat so the police could see me. If I was down too low, they couldn't see me if the drove by or we got in an accident. I believed that for the longest time! When I was older, and finally got to sit normally in the car, I asked my mother, "Am i really tall enough for the police to see me?" She was very confused until I told her what my babysitter had said. then she explained the real reason for car seats. I was so embarassed!
