5. Foil Foiled
Maybe it’s the fact that aluminum foil seems like kind of a magical material that makes it the object of numerous silly myths. One claims that a covering your car with it will cause a speed radar to go haywire or fail to detect the car at all. Actually, since radar uses radio waves to calculate speed the highly-reflective foil is more likely to make a car an even “bigger” radar target and therefore easier to detect.
