Stay smart, and don't do that!
- Waterluvian 9y agoI've done this before when I was a younger driver. It's terrifying to get to your garage and realise you don't remember the last 10 mins of driving. Since then I've used tricks to keep my active focus on driving. They usually involve counting cars and talking to myself about the current state of the drive.
- pythonboi 9y agoPeople are taught about this in Driver's Ed now. It's called Highway Hypnosis. I've experienced it a few times now and it is a bit scary when you try to figure out how you drove somewhere without really realizing it.
- provost 9y agoWow, I thought this was normal. Didn't consider it disturbing until now that you and the other comments mentioned it, and reflecting on how little I think about driving.
- anotheryou 9y agoHow dangerous is it? Do you "wake up" when something happens? Or do you wake up to late? I don't drive and it just happened maybe once on a bike for me.
