It's called "Target Fixation", Dan. One tends to drive/ride toward any focused-upon point ahead of them. It's similar as in situations where you spot a pothole ahead of you and continue to focus upon it while thinking you must avoid it, but then find you're strangely "attracted" to it and ultimately find yourself rolling over it.
Yeah, I can vouch for this phenomenon. I did it the hard way on a bicycle when I was a kid, riding a raised path through a swamp and saw a moccasin . Paid more attention to the snake than the path and rode right off the path - then fell on top of the ****** snake. Yep - he got me.
I don't do that anymore.
