Pegasus Bridge 0 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I was driving home from the toon today, a trip I do almost daily. About 3/4 of the way home, driving on the coast road, I suddenly realised I had drove from the northumbria uni's carpark to where I was now, without really concentrating. Like it was instinct or something. Really quite a strange sensation. I was obviously safe, but my mind must of just programmed itself into driving mode or something, because I could only vaguely remember driving all that way. Maybe I shouldn't be behind the wheel? Maybe this is normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Most people seem to drive on 'auto-pilot' at least some of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Bridge 0 Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 Most people seem to drive on 'auto-pilot' at least some of the time. Seems scary to me. Never noticed it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4ever 0 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I don't feel like i'm not alert, just seem to cover many miles without particularly realising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieMessiah 2 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Auto-pilot. Happens all the time with me. I suppose it's a bit of a surprise when I wake up at home parked in my garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 11124 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I occassionally go on autopilot when I'm heading somewhere out of the ordinary but local and end up at the ordinary swearing and cursing and having to plot a new route, even though TomTom has been barking orders for the last five miles... I tend to ignore TomTom unless I'm going somewhere I've never been before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to ignore TomTom unless I'm going somewhere I've never been before. I do the same - I blatantly ignore TomTom all the time, winds my other half up something rotten. Can't imagine why I keep on doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
