What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation? (lemmy.world)

What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?

Another factor is that people feel more comfortable driving their local roads and get used to usual traffic patterns, which could mean that they're not as alert if something's different.

Eg you're almost home, in your neighborhood, and there's a stop sign that almost never has anyone else there, so you might not look too much just roll through, the one time someone's actually there.
