I  had a grandmal seizure in New Hampshire.  My license is in Massachusetts.  I received a notice in the mail that NH wants me to attend a meeting to revoke my driving priveledges for a year.  Can they take away amy Massachusetts license?  My seizures are controls and this was the first time in four years.  ANy advice is appreciated.

I am still unclear on how you got reported to NH.  Who reported you to the DMV?  Did something happen while you where in NH, or do you have a doctor in NH or what? what exactly happened?  I am just trying to understand what happened.  If I know a little more about it I can help a little more.  Can you fill in the blanks?

boy this upsets me. she has to pay to get her drivers lic back? someone had to get a lawyer. not right!!! maybe they should let us make the choice to drive, we know more about our body and condition more than they do. there are many people (elders) that drive that have had heart attacks and such (i could name a bunch) and they drive. hello, i understand it is unsafe if they are not uncontrol. laws are crazy.
