What is Highway Hypnosis? Highway hypnosis, also known as white line fever, is an altered mental state in which a person can drive a car, truck, or other automobile great distances, responding to external events in the expected, safe, and correct manner with no recollection of having consciously done so.
What is Automaticity
Automaticity, the ability to perform actions without thinking about them, is a perfect example of Highway hypnotism. When a driver is driving along the highway and suddenly sees a flashing light, he or she will respond by braking. The driver may not think about the flashing light, but the subconscious mind does.
