on autopilot

i don't remember what happened on the drive back to campus the other day.

i'm having a heated discussion with a friend while behind the wheel and i sort of drove the car on reflex.

red light, stop.
green light, go.
maintain distance 3m from car up front.
signal when changing lanes.
maintain speed at 80km/hr.

i really, really remembered nothing. not even the big tesco that i must've passed on the way, so focused i was on the ongoing argument.

when told, said friend didn't even flinch. saying that i was driving like normal. hello? how convinced are you that your life is safe in my hands?

i should've not blanked out like that. i should stop multi-tasking while driving (which is a bad, bad habit. i know).

so, yeah. i scare myself.
