Young drivers with neurodevelopmental disabilities may be at more risk for motor vehicle crashes due to behavior characteristics commonly associated with these conditions. In recent years, a growing body of research has examined driving risks for teens with autism and those with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
BTSCRP Research Report 15: Teen Driving Performance Associated with Distraction, ADHD, and Other Risk Factors, from TRB's Behavioral Traffic Safety Cooperative Research Program, provides further insights into traffic safety risks for teen drivers with different levels of ADHD. The report concludes that teen drivers with ADHD tend to look away from the road more frequently and may be at an elevated risk for missed hazards.
