Interesting. I don't know enough to have an opinion on how prevalent this is, but I have read that people with ADHD have a higher risk of being involved in a car crash in the first place, so there is an interesting causation/correlation discussion to be had there!
Eg:
A new study reports that the risk of being involved in car crashes increases for those diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study looked specifically at the rate of car crashes by adulthood, which was 1.45 times higher in those with a childhood history of ADHD compared to adults with no ADHD.
