Your driving and you forget where you are.

hahah.. no i cant say that has ever happened to me lool and yes it did instantly remind me of your other discussion lol i bet you often forget where you put your car keys also hehe

Not exactly but I did have moments where I was driving and started thinking about something and before I knew it I was there. But I don't remember passing certain landmarks. I basically didn't know how I got there. Then I start to worry about not remembering most of the time driving between point a and b. This is city driving with lights and stop signs, dogs, cats, balls ... AND PEOPLE every where. It isn't like a highway where you don't really have to stop. It only happened when I was really stressed out and had a lot on my mind. Scary huh?

double,Oh yes, I can relate to that!Been there done that..As a matter of fact this happened to me a couple times.I was beside myself. I too could not remember where I was going(but I do have a very bad memery,anyway). All I could do was pull over like you did, I turned into a carwash and sat there and raked my brain.This is very frustrating, and scary.(Will we sameday forget how to get home?)..Then there was a time not too long ago I was going somewhere and did not remember how to get there, now I had been there so many times!!Go figure.

Hehe ,I have this experience too, which is so interesting, at last ,I have asked my brother help me how to go back home!

Sadly that has happened to me a lot and especially when someone asks me to go somewhere specific i just get side tracked and wind up going somewhere totally different and half way there they say to me, "where are you going"... sometimes I wonder...

That happens to me all the time. I'vew never been so lost as to have to pull over though. My mom does it too. She is always turning the wrong way in habit of going other places she travels to more often.

i was a semi truck driver in the USA,,it happened to me like 3 or 4 times in one year,,,but the worst thing was waking up and not know where i was!!,,that is worst i used to get in shock most of the times i woke up because i didnt knew if i was in Miam FL or in Georgia...short of breath heart in my throat and sudden sweat in my bunk bed inside the semi,,,oh the crazyness!!!

I must ask, and bear with me if you have already told me, my memory isn't as big as a minute sometimes, but do you have diabetes? This sounds like a low-blood sugar symptom, especially since this was a road that you should have known. I don't have diabetes myself, but I have relatives that do, and I have seen the effects of both high and low-blood sugar. You have to be very careful with it, or the symptoms can get a lot worse than this.

From another trucker. Familiarity breeds contempt. Take it from someone who spent most of his career on dedicated runs going back and forth to the same places. It's one thing to take a short trip close to home and realize at your destination that you don't remember anything past the first intersection coming out of your house. I drove from St Louis Missouri to a point about 20 miles north of Atoka oklahoma without remembering the trip. I realized where I was and found I had changed the tape in my radio a couple times, refueled my truck at the safety lanes in Springfield, MO, made several critical highway changes and gone through 2 tollbooths on autopilot. I find this is most likely to happen with a route I take very regularly and at the time I was going from Warren, OH to Laredo, TX and back twice a week and had done so for almost 2 years. RT 75 in Oklahoma is familiar enough but most of it looks pretty much the same. Several towns are so similar you can mistake them for each other if you don't spot signs. When I realized where I was it took about 10 minutes for me to figure out how close I was to my nest stop in Atoka(or if had missed it) nad to remember if I was supposed to be there(was I going to Laredo or El Paso?) Moments like that happen all the time at home. I get to the grocery store and don't remember even starting the car. I assume I meant to be here but what did I come to get? It's 5 minutes away and I make the trip so regularly that it can go by without much concern if traffic is easy. 500 mi and I don't remember them???!! That's a bit more worrisome.
