It is just the opposite with me. When I do something like drive my car & get to my destination, I wonder how I got there. I don't remember deciding to brake or accelerate; to adjust my position in my lane & with respect to other cars; or decide to obey traffic lights & road signs. I wonder who was that driver that I entrusted my life to. On the other hand, when I meditate, my free will is never more evident. I can look at my hand & decide which finger to move. I might look at each finger several times, before I decide. It seems incredible that I couldn't decide on any one of the fingers or that which one was determined before I decided. I guess my speculation might be right: some people have free will & others don't.
