Some signs at interstate highway interchanges list some of the large cities in the direction that you'll end up going by taking that on-ramp. In my home city, one such sign listed a city called Wheeling (in West Virginia). I didn't know this was a place, and thought it was some sort of instruction for the use of the interstate (that "wheeling" meant you could go fast without stopping, or something like that).

If the lights in the car were on, you'd get arrested by the police

If the light on a plane flashed and you saw it from the ground, that was because the pilot and/or co-pilot saw you. The polite things to do was wave back.

When I was a child, I used to believe that traffic lights were operated by a person underground who saw everything and changed their colour with a button, so he or she decided when the cars could pass and when not.

I used to believe that car exhaust pipes were what propelled cars, instead of the engines.

When I was a little boy I used to think that the people who drove cars must learn all the road by heart . Often I saw some cars who were not driving on the middle of de road and i thought these people did'nt leran their rules. I believed that because we said "rules of the road" . I discover it was wrong because one time my father had an accident andn I understood the people don't learn the road by heart

when i was little i thought that cars flew to pass in the lane because they told me that the car could not pass over it.
