Hyper focus

[Ugadhd]

Does any one else only hyper focus when driving?

Hyperfocus can be a really hard thing to predict and harness. If you're lucky enough to discover something that you can reliably hyperfocus on, then you can make that thing your specialty. Maybe you were meant to be a professional driver of some sort.

In my past life I must have been a race car driver, I get pulled over alot for over speeding

Yes and no. When I'm on the move, no problem. Stopped at lights or roadworks or crawling through slow traffic... then my mind is all over the place and I often get honked at for not noticing I should be on the move again.

I get inpatient at the lights too, I'm the guy honking so we can get moving again

Fair. Me, if I have to sit still more than ten seconds, I'm looking for something to do. Watch birds, switch up my music playlist, examine whatever minor injury I've got on my hand on any given day...

Hyper focus no..mind wandering.. well that’s a whole other story. I can’t tell you how many times I have passed free way exits while mind wandering. Once I drove past my exit to my home and didn’t realize it until 2 towns later. I can’t believe I just shared that. Who does that even? 😬

😂That's funny happens to me too I miss exits alot but only when I have something heavy on my mind or if I have other people in the car trying to have a conversation.
