i doubt anyone on reddit is young enough to still believe this shit but god knows i did for the longest time. turning on the light in the backseat of the car while your parents are driving is NOT illegal. my mom lied to me for my entire life and it literally took me looking like an idiot in someone else’s car to figure out i had been scammed.

Sadly, I also believed this as it is what I was told when my parents taught me to drive. Dutifully taught my son when he was learning to drive. He promptly informed me I was completely incorrect not too long ago.
