It’s funny the kinds of falsehoods that people collectively believe. In CA, I can think of two widespread false beliefs about traffic law from when I was younger (no idea if they are still widespread). One is that it is illegal to drive barefoot. Another is that it is illegal to change lanes in an intersection. That latter one I actually got pulled over for but when the officer went to write the ticket I guess they couldn’t find the vehicle code section for it (because it didn’t exist).
