Statistics on autistic drivers

Good luck with the driving. ^^

I know a few Autistic people who can drive. I will admit though they aren't great at it.  I'm sure there are really good Autistic drivers too!! 

I've had to put my lessons on hold as I've really struggled with it. Anxiety definitely doesn't help. I wasn't making any progress and just found the whole thing frustrating. That, and with the way I've been feeling lately, being behind the wheel of a car is the last place I should be.

Even if I did pass, I have no reason to get a car. Couldn't afford the upkeep anyway! Plus purple cars are hard to get and I love all things purple!

Hey Nugget, I'm a great driver! And female too, who'd  have thought ;). Can even parallel park......most of the time. Fortunately I passed many moons ago when all you needed to do was turn up and drive without hitting any obstacle. I only had a few lessons if I remember because they were too expensive for me. I think autistic or not you either love it t or not. I do but my NT brother isn't as keen. He hates going on the motorway for example. I love the freedom it gives me and living fairly rural with a rubbish bus service makes me feel less guilty having a car. I will have to cycle to work though due to lack of parking spaces. 

I too am I good driver and female. I have to have the music up windows open to concentrate I'm not sure why. I do get frustrated when people dont follow the rules of the road though. I stick to the rules so much that I even indicate if no ones around.

I strictly have no alcohol if I know I'm driving, even mince pies. In 20 years of driving I've had 2 accidents, one was a man going into the side of me and I was too young and naive to protest it (19) but he claimed for whiplash for years as he was a self employed builder apparently. The accident was set up. I now have dash cams which are brilliant. Had a man block me in when I was driving on my side of the road the other day I wound down my window said I have dash cam to which he left. I think he wanted to cause a fake accident. Too much cash for silly things now a days. The other accident was a woman indicated and turned off to my left, I had to stop to let her turn, started back up moving off and she had just used the junction to turn and hit my side. People came out of the bush (in the middle of no where) and asked his her neck! Thankfully one passing car stopped seeing it was a set up so it got thrown out as he was a witness. 

I can get through tight spaces and park and carry out all manoeuvres fine. I think the fact I look alot younger than my years makes people think I'm an easy target
