Abstract

Drivers with ADHD are at greater risk for road accidents and are more prone to traffic violations and risky driving than drivers without ADHD. However, no study has tested if the greater risk of drivers with ADHD generalizes to a population of professional drivers that are monitored by their supervisors. We investigated the driving behavior of transport military drivers with and without ADHD (25 and 146, respectively) based on the reports from an Advanced Driving Assistance System. Results indicated that safety events were significantly more frequent for drivers with ADHD than for drivers without ADHD. Notably, the most significant difference was for speeding violations with a Relative Risk (RR) of 2.13 (113% increase). We conclude that the riskier driving of drivers with ADHD remains even among professional drivers that are monitored by their supervisors. Perhaps, drivers with ADHD might benefit from customized intervention programs.
