People with ADHD have a 45% or higher risk associated with driving http://www.m.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/news/20140129/drivers-with-adhd-may-be-at-higher-risk-for-serious-crashesI personally I have been in at least 5 accidents though not all of them took the form of me hitting someone else, a lot of them could have been avoided had I been able to be more aware.

Edit: I should also note this from the article

    Breaking down the numbers further, the researchers estimated that between 41 percent and 49 percent of the car accidents involving men with ADHD could have been avoided if they had been taking their medication as prescribed.

This is why if you are an adult and you suspect you have ADHD you should at least talk to a doctor about it don't ignore it!

Wow. That's actually a pretty high jump in risk. I never would have figured.
