this one scared the shit out of me when i was about 17 and learning to drive
I grew up quite near the peak district, so it was an easy place to go for practice drives. One day a friend told me a story about a woman who was driving past the Cat and Fiddle (triva: England's second highest pub) just as the afternoon was slipping into evening. Darkening shadows were stretching over the hills and she was the only car on the road.
Then her headlights picked out something at the side of the road - a baby! A baby, all alone, abandoned in the dark and the cold. So she screeched to a halt and ran to rescue the poor little mite. Just as she was looking for it, the lights of an approaching car lit up the scene, and of course the poor little mite turned out to be a doll that someone had abandoned. The woman laughed at herself and got back in her car.
But as she was doing so, the other car started to do a crazy 3 point turn on the high, twisty road, and then sped up to catch right up to her bumper. The faster she drove, the faster the strange car drove. It was clearly chasing her.
Finally she reached the outskirts of civilisation, and drove to the police station, thinking that this would shake off the mystery driver. But as she came to a stop, the driver also came to a stop, jumped out, and started banging on her window. He shouted:
"WHEN YOU WERE OUT OF YOUR CAR, SOMEONE CLIMBED ONTO YOUR BACK SEAT!!!"
At the time I swallowed that one, hook, line and sinker.
