DRIVING [Hates medical review board].

Topic: Teen Zone

Yeah, so pretty much I have been seizure free for a little over a year now. I am a pretty good driver (been practicing with my learner's permit) and I am READY to get my regular license. In the state of FL, if you have had a seizure in less than 24 mo., you need doctor's approval to drive and it needs to be reviewed by the state. It takes forever for the medical review board to go over the doctor's note. I'm talking 3 weeks. On top of that, the doctor doesn't have the form so I won't have my license for two months. UGHdagdjahsdhas! I am 19 years old and this is so frustrating. I can finally get my license and I have to wait forever! =(
