When I was about 5 years old, I was in the backseat of the car while my mom was driving. I started to feel bored and found out that you can turn the light switch on the ceiling of the car on and off. I repeatedly kept flickering the light switch until my mother realized what I was up to. She then told me turn the light off because it was illegal and a cop might pull us over. This then terrified me and I never turned on the back light until I was in my early teens when my friend told me this was a lie.

Your drawing is very cute! In addition, my parents told me a similar myth too when I was trying to play with the light, but instead of illegal, they said that I’ll get a warning from the police.
