Oh great, is car insurance gonna start raising premiums for people with ADHD now too?
And due to the expectation that it's hereditary: sorry your daddy gave his medical information in the previous century so you can't be insured by our company unless your willing to tripple the rates because you could be aswell.
Yes and everyone else’s will stay exactly the same. It’s only fair, or something
No they are moving away from all that. Financial data and credit score are better predictors than actual driving history.
I think I tend to hyperfocus while driving so I have that thing going for me which is nice.
I specifically hyper focus at night and on roads with deer. My driving then is mint, like, I could be an instructor then.
i have adhd and i hate driving. i wouldve stopped ages ago if i had a choice in the usa.
don't know if I have adhd but god yes I hate even being a passenger.
My partner has ADHD and it feels like my life is on the line every time I let him drive. He waits too long to stop, hard-braking frequently. He continues accelerating when the car in front of us is braking. Etc. It's terrifying.
Probably distracted driving.
Yes perhaps some sort of disordered hyper activity in their brain causing a kind of distracted state or “deficit” if you will, in their attention
Look at how all of us lose sight of the conversation so easily. 🤧😂
More about impulse control I think. Making the right decisions while driving, not getting overwhelmed.
More like hyper focusing on time contraints or a grocery list. ADHD can narrow attention very well.
Is that the adhd or the amphetamines used to treat it?
The number of drivers who don’t seem to realize they’re driving is too damn high. I can think of at least five examples of this I saw just this morning.
This has been known for decades. Not sure what's new about this study.
source?
My doctor advised me of it in about 2002.
Here's a study from 2007 just super quick Google search:
Consider my ass sourced and by no less than the man himself, Russell Barkley. Dudes been at it for so long so I wasn't too surprised. thank you!
An attention-deficit makes you perform worse at a task that requires attention?
These scientists must have some great out of the box thinking to have pieced together this one.
Gasp.
