It’s a somewhat common experience to zone out while driving and not remember how you got from points A to B. However, is it just as common to “wake up” from being zoned out between points A and B and momentarily forget that you’re in New(ish) Location and not lost in your Old Location (hometown). Or say someone asks you for directions someplace and you give them directions how to get there based on a different location you lived? I’ve been living in the Midwest US for 12 years now and still occasionally give directions or think I’m still on the East Coast.
I moved away from my home town, lived in many places, then settled into a new home town. For the most part, no, since the places have been too different.
However, yeah, I drove on autopilot in my home town for many years after I left. Up until I went through a red light that was never there before. Never again
