Here we go with the second part of our unveiling of the most usual movie lies about cars. Oh, the fun you’ll have…

11. Movie passengers either don’t pay cabs at all, or have the exact change.
12. Movie people can get cabs instantly, unless they are in danger, whereupon no cab can be found.
13. Sudden accelleration of a car (be it forwards, backwards, stopping, skidding, sliding, or whatever) causes a loud skid, even on dirt or wet roads. Be prepared. Each wheel is also fitted with a smoke device to let you know when this happens. Hollywood cars are also special: when you take off quickly, you always leave a skid mark for each drive wheel, regardless of whether you have a limited slip differential or not.
14. Cars often end up on cliff-edges with 2 wheels in the open air. The good guys are saved just before the car falls over, the bad guys join the car in the free fall, often caused by a bird setting down on the part of the car hanging over the edge.
15. When a hero suffers through car chases and crashes, he never has to worry about unfelt spinal injury from impact.
16. The cops never show up during massive gun battles in city streets that involve bystanders and exploding cars. After the fact, you might just a siren in the distance.
17. When a main character has to cross the street (in one of the slower parts of the movie), he/she can always cross the street immediately. Of course, he/she jogs across in order to miss the one car that drives by after they cross.
18. If there is traffic, then that means that the movie is at a more intense part (like a chase scene) in which case there are a lot of cars that crash into each other. None of the important characters get hurt, the accident is never heard on the news, and nobody sues anybody important. Very few people even get out of their cars, and yet, no airbags are to be seen.
19. Women always stand and watch the cars that are about to run them over, OR the bad-guys that are about to shoot them (even if there’s cover close by).
20. Can you keep ‘em going?
