Scott, I don't think their would be. But at the same time, why depend
on a driver's license to get around. While I have for the most part
been seizure-free for more than twenty years, I chose not get a drivers'
license. Not only because of the backlash against drivers with epilepsy
having even one seizure regardless of the cause. Also, I have seen the
way my relatives drive at times. So I get around on my (Tour de
France-style)racing bike, public transportation, or walk. The backlash
against people with epilepsy driving, is far worse than the backlash
against someone with multiple drunk driving convictions.
