You are not alone in having driving issues, Tiddler. I am a horrible driver. I have only had three or four minor collisions, all at low speeds, so far though. I did extensive damage to my car though when I hit a parking column because I was arguing with someone in the passenger seat at the time. Loads of near misses, too many to enumerate easily. I hate going to the mall because of the parking the most.
Some new cars have cameras in the side mirrors that notify you via a light if a car is in your blind spot. I want that for my next vehicle. And a backup camera. And an automatic brake to ensure I don’t collide with anything. When are personal transportation pods coming?
As for parking, I can’t tolerate going around and looking. Grab the first spot I see and walk it. Otherwise, my stress levels go through the roof.
There was a study that found people with ADHD fared better at driving if they were driving a standard transmission as they would were more engaged in the process. Not sure what the sample size of it was though.
Dr. Russell Barkley’s brother, who had ADHD, was killed in a traffic accident.
