FROM THE FIRST TIME YOU ARE TOLD YOU CAN'T DRIVE ANYMORE HOW LONG DO THE DOCOTR SAY YOU HAVE TO WAIT TO DRIVE I KNOW SOME STATES HAVE DIFFERENT LAWS BUT I WANT TO KNOW HOW LONG YOUR DOCTOR MAKES YOU WAIT. I WAS TOLD I CANT DRIVE IN JANUARY OF 06 AND I WAS TOLD AGAIN ON THE 6 OF THIS MONTH BY THE NEUROLOGIST.

YES IT IS HARD FOR ME NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE I THINK HERE IN ILLINOIS YOU HAVE TO BE SEIZURE FREE FOR 6 MONTHS BUT I JUST STARTED MY MEDS SO I THINK IT WILL BE LONGER THAN THAT. SO RIGHT NOW I GET SERVICE FOR MY TOWNSHIP AND THEY PICK ME UP AND DROP ME OFF AT HOME FOR ONLY A 1.00 DONATION EACH TRIP AND IF YOU DONT HAVE THE 1.00 THEY DON'T CARE.
