i don’t drive and have no plans on doing so, but i have never experienced this while biking or riding an e-scooter and i do not fathom how it would happen in a car
like, sure, i’m not always engaging 100% of my attention on everything around me, i might get distracted by a pretty blooming tree or something, but at no point is it even possible for me to zone out and forget where i’ve passed through…
honestly kinda terrifying to know that it’s how it works for people driving 3 ton vehicles at 30+km/h
The way it was explained to me is that because you do the same thing so often that your brain just removes it from your memory. It’s mostly seen with a daily commute or something.
Driving with a bike, sometimes it hits me. So i push myself to constantly speed, thus introducing change. If I rode always with the same speed, it would probably quickly fall into it.
Cars however also shield you from outside variables. You don’t have to fight unnecessarily mean wind in your face going uphill when in car. You don’t fight against your limits. You just…go, and in traffic at that so there’s really not much to notice.
Start. Stop. Start. Stoo. Start. Stop.
Wonder how people can forget such fascinating experience…
maybe it’s really empty and straight? i’m pretty sure i’d end up running into someone if i zoned out, or i’d straight up ride into a wall or out onto the road
