Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is linked to more driving errors and violations. However, older adults with ADHD show similar driving behaviors to those without ADHD, suggesting age may mitigate risks.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Traffic Safety

Background:

  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with increased driving citations and accident risk.
  • Previous research identified errors, lapses, and violations as key factors in driving behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of ADHD status, gender, and age on driving errors, lapses, and violations.
  • To explore how these factors interact to influence driving behavior and accident risk.

Main Methods:

  • Regression analyses were employed to examine the relationship between ADHD status, gender, age, and self-reported driving scores.
  • Data were analyzed based on three driving behavior factors: errors, lapses, and violations.

Main Results:

  • ADHD status significantly correlated with higher scores for errors, lapses, and violations.
  • Significant interactions between ADHD status and age were found for errors and violations, with older individuals with ADHD showing no statistical difference from controls.
  • Men reported significantly higher violation scores than women, irrespective of ADHD status and age.

Conclusions:

  • ADHD status is a significant predictor of driving errors, lapses, and violations.
  • Age may attenuate the heightened driving risks associated with ADHD, particularly for errors and violations.
  • Understanding these age-related differences is crucial for addressing the long-term driving safety of individuals with ADHD.
