I don't think he should be punished unless he had restrictions on his license. If he had frequent seizures, he should have restrictions.
My sister had a few seizures once in her life and never had them again.

i have a friend who over the last few years had some medical issues that resulted in him having seizures. on his doctors orders he had his license revoked temporally until they were able to test him and decide he was no longer seizure prone

if it's your first seizure then you obviously would not know

He should have his license taken from him, but that's the extent of it. His insurance can pay off the victim's families.
I used to work with an epileptic who never had any problems with seizures, but one day had a blackout while driving and drove off the road into a river and nearly killed himself.

Is he on medication? My sister had to take medication for 2-3 yrs after her 2 seizures (in one day). That was when she was ~12 and in order to get her license, she had to have been off the medication AND seizure free for an entire year....perfect timing for her, but it took a while.
temporarily, yes. it's safe practice.
