The Urban legend of, if you see a car drive past you and their headlights are off, you flick your headlights to inform them that their headlights are off and they follow you home and kill you. This urban legend was actually being plaid out to the fullest by gangs in my area a few years ago. So if this counts, then this Urban Legend is true.

Most urban legends are framed as stories, with plots and characters. The urban legends resemble a proper joke, especially in the manner of transmission, only they are much darker in tone and theme.
The compelling nature of the story and its elements of mystery, horror, fear, or humor are part of what makes the tales so attractive. Many of these legends are presented as warnings or cautionary tales. Other urban legends might better be called "widely dispersed misinformation", such as the erroneous belief that you will automatically pass all of your college courses in a semester if your roommate kills him/herself [1]. While such "facts" may not have the narrative elements of traditional legend, they are passed from person to person and generally have the elements of horror, humor or caution found in legends.
Similarly to the legends of older times, urban legends also concern unexplained phenomena, like phantom apparitions.
GOOD LUCK !
