Hi.
I hope that this helps.It's the latest on this subject that I know of.
If you have a patient with seizures that alter his or her awareness, consciousness, or muscle control, that patient may not have the legal right to drive. Each state has its own restrictions. If your patient has further questions please ask them to check with their local Department of Motor Vehicles
