I'll pass the road test and all but my ADD is so bad I might crash and yet I NEED to drive!  What should I do!?  Yes, I've tried those "Tricks" and I've tried meds, too.

If your ADD is so bad that meds don't help, and makes you a hazard, you shouldn't be driving at all. Take transit.

Just practice.

You have to train yourself to watch and focus on the road.

Until you get good at driving, I wouldnt drive people around or listen to music. Once you trust yourself enough, then you should be fine.

That's crazy. I have ADD. I'll be driving around and be like, "OOOOH shiny!" It has caused me to get scared a couple of times, but I think I'm alright.
