I actually agree! People with ADHD should have special training for driving a vehicle. As I noted above a person who has ADHD has a 45% higher risk of getting into a car accident than someone without. It can be very hard to distinguish such things using humans at the DMV though, which is another reason I'd like to see automatic vehicles in widespread use. We should remove the trust from the roads, rage aholics, drunks, and emotionally unstable people are currently out on our freeways. With the automatic vehicles we could be safer with a very small economic cost.
