my friend had his first seizure on his 16th birthdya. they gave him problems for the first 6/7 years. then he started taking his medication regularly and he hasn't had a problem for 5 years or so.

 

I think if they can get a doctor to verify that they are not seizure/blackout-prone, then they can get their license back. You shouldn't be banned from driving your whole life because of a temporary medical condition. But if they are at a significant risk of seizures, then keep them off the roads.

:edit: My ex gf had seizures a couple time due to her cancer medication. She is now perfectly healthy and there's no reason she shouldn't be driving.

 

i had to pay for a therapist and driving instructor to evaluate me after my stroke to see if i was fit to drive with 1 arm and my left foot. I also had to take a separate driving test at dmv, longer by a safety officer to get my license renewed.... so its a hassel but should be done..

 

i never said that. The law is no driving until you have bee seizure free for 1 year. I dont know if I agree with that. IMO, it should be 18 - 24 months, but I don't k ow anything about seizures.

uh it might have been his first time. And seizures can happen out if the blue.

 

absolutely if they cannot get that under control they are a danger to all other drivers and should not be allowed on the road, no discussions.
