That's great! Y did they tell U to take the test again as....I got a notice saying I had to and most people I know that have had seizuers never did but my doctor wrote that I was dizzy, confused and had slow reaction time. I was in the hospital last week and got the results today and my doctor said that the tests revealed that I had "potential" for having seizures so I can't drive for a year until I'm seizure free - I'm in NJ

I have been lurking for some time.
That is until I saw this. While I have been seizure-free for more than
five years, I have chosen not to drive. Because there are too many
idiots on the road. I don't want to be the victim of a drunk driver.
At the same time, while I don't drive, I ride my racing bike. Every
time I am in traffic(that doesn't include the national highway system),
I 'take the lane'. While that may seem crazy, I don't ride ignorantly.
So please be aware of cyclists and don't pass them closely.
Christopher
