I hate that.  Happens to me all the time.  It used to really scare me at
first, but since i've never had damage done to the car that i don't
remember, i assume that i must be doing ok with it.

Ironically, that doesn't happen to me as much since i got a vehicle with
cruise control.  It used to be that i would find my self following
someone going 55, and couldn't remember the last 20 miles or so.  Now, i
have the cruise set, and need to tap the brakes, or hit the cancel
button so that i don't rear end someone.  My new job also has a
completely different commute with towns and speed limit changes so that
there in an interrupt issued every so often.
