Laws vary from state to state in the US and among different countries. People who are still having seizures are generally prohibited from driving until they are seizure free for a period of time. That period may be from 3 months to 2 years, depending on laws in our area. Here is a link to info about driving and I encourage everyone to contact their own department of motor vehichles to check local laws.
