Motron

Motorist + moron

Better than "moton"?

Or 'monkey'?

Opinions please!

I use "moton" or "monkey brain" but they're not a direct reference to the person doing the driving, but rather to the primitive part of the brain that's been delegated the task whilst the person gets on with the important stuff, like making phone calls or thinking about tea.

The inner monkey is a fickle collection of creatures.
In my case the "instant gratification monkey" is my bugbear. (If it wasn't I wouldn't be typing this...)
