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.
