Why are you supposed to pick up your feet when you drive over train tracks?

Home More advice General Knowledge

I understand why people hold their breath while driving past a Cemitary, so that the 'bad' sperits dont go into you, and i get why your supposed to cover your head with your arms when you drive under a bridge, protection if the bridge crashes. But why are you supposed to lift your feet off the ground when you drive over train tracks? It wouldnt help you at all. I know that these are silly things that people do for fun, but i dont understand the last one. Any one know?
