ADHD young adults were cited more often for speeding,were more likely to have had their licenses suspended,were involved in more crashes causing bodily injury and were rated by themselves and others as using poorer driving habits.Official driving records corroborated these negative outcomes.Although no group differences in driving knowledge were evidence, young adults with ADHD had more crashes,scrapes and erratic steering during the computer-stimulated driving test than did the control subjects. Findings supported previous research suggesting that greater driving risks are associated with ADHD and suggested that ADHD does not interfere with driving knowledge so much as with actual performance(motor control)during vehicle operation. |
