The article emphasizes the importance of self-awareness before driving while discussing how various factors, such as stress and fatigue, can impair focus. Cronenwett notes that anyone can be at risk, not just those with ADHD, underlining that distractions and inattentiveness are major contributors to driving safety issues. Recommendations include seeking professional help for ADHD and practicing mindfulness techniques to improve focus and decrease distractions when driving. Mindfulness, as suggested by Morrison, allows individuals to ground themselves and fosters present-moment awareness, vital for safe driving.
If you don't feel focused enough to drive, don't do it. Distracted drivers, or inattentive drivers, are at risk for having car crashes.
Any number of things influence somebody's risk more than just the strict presence or absence of a label... Any type of inattentive or distracted driving puts somebody at risk.
Be aware of your body in space and your breath for a few minutes at a time, and let thoughts move in and out.
Mindfulness can be really helpful because it gives your brain a chance to run around off its leash, if you will.
