I live in NJ and would only have to take my driving test again. Normally if U have seizures you don't have to but my doctor wrote EVERTHING to DMV - dizziness, confusion, etc and now that my meds have helped all of that, DMV doesn't care and they still want me to re-take my test again and I have to go to a driving school to get a permit. People who drive drunk arent' re-tested but if you have a seizure disorder or any type of medical problem you are crucified and treated like a common criminal. I've only been seizure free for two months and in NJ its 6 months to a year before you can re apply for ur license but I'm still mad and I have a lawyer as I'm fighting this. If my doctor says I can drive I will go to a lawyer to fight this test thing again

Subject: [epilepsy] Reevaluation from Motor Vehicle
Yesterday, I received forms for review of driver's license. I've gone through this but it was about 10 years ago. Post brain surgery, about 13 years agom, I get only seizures when asleep. The form has so many pages of questions, hope tests do not have to be redone but guess I'll find out soon when I try to get doctor to fill this in. I recall fighting for license when we lived in New York, and having to do the same thing when we moved here to NC. forms must be done within
30 days. If by chance you have had this kind of rechecking on a license, would you tell me how it went with you.
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely, Doris
