Boy, if you have too much rattling around in your head, something has to give. A brain can only process so much information before it has to start prioritizing things, in this case "driving an automibile" was the secondary function. Unlike breathing and heartbeats, driving is NOT an autonomous function, though it is something you can do while rocking out to "The Final Countdown" or eating a double cheeseburger. In other words, we do it enough that it's a habit but if we aren't focused it's easy to goof up.
Today, I sure goofed up but luckily with no reprecussions. In hindsight, the red light was actually somewhat optional and driving merrily in the oncoming traffic's passing lane was but a lark. What can I say,I only have so much concentration to go around! Thankfully I didn't get rocked like a hurricane.
