Synopsis:

Teens with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are more likely to be involved in a motor vehicle collision than their neuro-typical peers, making them a potentially high-risk group for driving. This study examined and compared the fitness to drive abilities of ADHD teens with  neuro-typical teens in a driving simulator. Results indicated that despite few demographic differences, ADHD teens performed worse than neuro-typical teens on many of the measured factors.
