Sounds like you drive too close to other cars and/or probably always distracted. Either slow down or put the phone down. You're going to kill someone one day.

Its not my phone. But I do get distracted daily. I have undiagnosed add, so even when I'm looking directly into the road, I find my brain is wondering away. I am trying any and all options to correct my brain and behavior behind the wheel. Not sure whether to pursue adderall or something like it yet. Too nervous about side effects.

Put it this way, if your brain issues are causing you to get into accidents, you should either get help to prevent accidents or not drive. You're a danger behind the wheel.

Having side effects is a better alternative than killing someone and going to jail

There are lots of prescription options for ADHD before adderall, if you’re worried about adderall specially. But whether it’s ADHD or something else, you need to talk to a psychiatrist if it’s impacting your safety and the safety of others.

Here’s a fun thing I get distracted by on the road

  1. What’s every car doing around me
  2. What if that car in front of me just, stops?
  3. Repeat steps 1-3
