I agree with the above concerns regarding distractions that you need to avoid while driving if you have ADHD. On a positive note, because a person with ADHD is receiving multiple sensory inputs simultaneously without a filter, they might be the driver who is quicker to react to someone running a red light or the animal or small child crossing the road because they notice it milliseconds before the more focused driver.
