I actually believed the fallacy of everything working out equally by driving faster when I was younger.
I also believed the fallacy that it is more efficient to keep a house warm all day even when it isn't occupied than to turn the thermostat down when it isn't occupied. The misconception being that more fuel is required to bring the house up from such a cold temperature compared to the little amount of fuel required to maintain temperature.
Shortly after I held those incorrect beliefs, I took 9th grade physics.
