Study Shows That Young Adults Diagnosed With Severe Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder As Children Have More Driving Risks

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sponsored a study to assess whether Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnosed during childhood would be a risk factor for poorer driving performance during early adulthood. This Traffic Tech summarizes the findings of this study. Complete, updated, driving records were available for 113 severe ADHD young adults from the time they obtained their first license through age 25. The study shows that ADHD is a risk factor for poorer driving performance during early adulthood. Youth who displayed severe symptoms of ADHD as children were more likely than a comparison group to have been convicted of assorted moving and non-moving violations.

	A subpoena is a court order to appear or bring information to a court proceeding. The target of the subpoena can object to the order, and a case within a case can evolve that deals solely with the subpoena. A subpoena has to be "served" on the party being ordered to produce information or testimony. Anyone can serve a subpoena, as long as they are not directly involved in the litigation. Along with the expense, another downside of subpoenas is that the information is usually not produced until the time of trial. For purposes of developing a defense it is desirable to have all relevant information well before your trial.
