Abstract

Abstract The hypothesis is advanced that some accidents on modern superhighways may best be attributed to a form of naturally-occurring hypnosis. Factors conducive to trance induction, such as monotony and bright points of fixation, are discussed. Illustrative verbal reports of trance-like experiences while driving are presented. It is shown that hypnotized subjects can successfully perform complex driving behavior. Methods of minimizing the trance inductive effects while driving are discussed.
