This is rubbish, and a lot of road safety publicity over the past few
decades has aimed to dispel this myth. I'm shocked to come across
somebody who still believes it.

Well, given that i only learned to read in the early-to-mid 1980s, and
still don't drive, i'm afraid most of that publicity passed me by.

Still, thanks, and to Richard J, for correcting me.
