That reminds me of a theory that's related and unrelated.

In combat, on the streets, etc. When an extreme situation occurs, your mind body falls back on "instinct." Many/most times the individual does not have much or any good memory of exact details of what transpired even though their actions were very deliberate and proper. It's always stated as he had the proper training, muscle memory, etc.

So, a while back it hit me about driving. You hear talk about people driving and talking on their cell phones, or talking to the person in the passenger seat and then not really having a memory of how they got to where they were going, but it was deliberate and they got there. Then, on occasion there are instances where some idiot can't walk and chew gum at the same time and shouldn't try to drive and talk at the same time, right? Well if the aforementioned is true, then those that are on the phone and run red lights, speed, drive erratically, etc. have simply been training themselves to drive that way for when they get on the phone. If they would drive responsibly during normal times, they would drive safely while their abilities are taxed.

Just a theory.
