Young drivers with neurodevelopmental disabilities may be at more risk for motor vehicle crashes due to behavior characteristics commonly associated with these conditions. In recent years, a growing body of research has examined driving risks for teens with autism and those with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). BTSCRP Research Report 15: Teen Driving Performance Associated with Distraction, ADHD, and Other Risk Factors, released this week by TRB's Behavioral Traffic Safety Cooperative Research Program, provides further insights into traffic safety risks for teen drivers with different levels of ADHD. The report concludes that teen drivers with ADHD tend to look away from the road more frequently and may be at an elevated risk for missed hazards.
Join a TRB webinar on October 28 covering this report and other lessons for safer teen driving.

Commercial motor vehicle drivers are essential to the U.S. economy. The National Academies Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Fatigue, Long-Term Health, and Highway Safety: Research Needs published in 2016 recommended improvements in data and research methods used by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, a survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and/or the Department of Transportation, and on-board technologies to better understand the crash risks for drivers. How far have we come in nearly ten years? Learn more in the National Academies' Transportation Workforce Collection, which features additional tools and guidance on supporting transportation professionals.
