Yeah, driven past villages etc and then looked around and think "jesus where am I!" It takes a while for me to catch up with myself!
Quite worrying - used to happen on motorway driving to work too - only just notice I'm about to pass my junction!

Yup, i know exactly what your talking about. Done it many times. I usualy get to my destination and remember bugger all about the journey. Worst one ive done is fall asleep at the wheel. Rumble curb woke me up though. What an amazing invention! it saved my skin, Just!

I suppose i tend to get it more when i am driving on a route i take most days, so i drive it by habbit rather than concentrating on where i am, if you get me.
May be worrying, but just because your not concentrating on where you are driving, doesn't mean you are not concentrating what you are doing at all (imo).

Only on journeys ive done times before too. If I'm going somewhere new I tend to drift into 'autopilot' and go to the wrong place too! Well annoying!

the route doesnt change, but that doesnt mean a normally empty junction isnt gonna have a massive HGV goin across it as you get there one day. kinda scary that you could be wiped out that easily and never know what hit you

My word yeh !
Not happened to me personally, but working last summer doing the deliveries for Bensons beds. I told the driver what junction we needed, and then went to sleep in the bunk for about 2 hours. The driver must have been just as 'asleep' as I was, cos when I woke up and wondered why we were still driving, it turned out he'd gone and driven about 1/2 way further round the M25 as we had to 
He said he hadnt noticed the junctions, and said he was still waiting for the right junction to come up !!
