Somebody vandalized this page, it has to be cleaned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.200.114.202 ( talk) 04:12, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
it seems like the person who created this was just trying to describe automaticity taking place while driving. both articles are fairly short and this just seems unnecessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clockwrist ( talk • contribs) 02:26, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
Is this perhaps a synonym to altered state of consciousness? Because that seems to be what this article is talking about. 72.184.79.105 ( talk) 00:30, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
I thought highway hypnosis was when you drove along a stretch of a straight road and, consequentially, lose maximal awareness and concentration. Not become amnesic. EricLeb01 ( Page | Talk) 00:44, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
I wouldn't normally ask about this, but I think there's a good point in asking: The article has a list in the "popular culture" section with a link to The X-Files repeated three times. I'm wondering whether there's a precedent, indicating when I would leave repeated links alone and when I would delink all but the first/primary one(s). Thanks.

This article is not clear about what exactly it is informing about. Besides describing in better detail what highway hypnosis is and how it happens the article should list statistics about the phenomena and warn about the risk and dangers of it as well. Furthermore, how to prevent highway hypnosis and recognize the signs that it could be happening. ( AMJonesPT ( talk) 02:19, 29 June 2011 (UTC))
The article says the term was coined in 1963, but the Google nGram viewer shows use as early as 1949 and wide usage by the mid-1950s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.115.7.2 ( talk) 15:56, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
I think it would be really helpful to readers if there was a paragraph explaining how to prevent it. This is an important topic related to highway hypnosis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.130.178.2 ( talk) 19:34, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
I gotta track down the sources, but I distinctly remember from driver’s ed that this “altered mental state” isn’t some neutral phenomenon. In this state, you’re not paying attention to the road, and it gets people killed. Now we have thousands of young people believing it’s okay that they space out when they drive because of this stub. Fantastic. I have a hard time imagining this won’t get someone killed.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.114.189.77 ( talk • contribs) 13:38, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
