note: in what country is it Law: that a Doctor would give someone with epilepsy to drive?
not even that state: city: should approve such" thou it should be more than 6-years, but if they take-it away: their are busses' trains' even friends or family.

on the corner of where I live while sitting outside with friends and my girlfriend, 20-feet away from an intersection: Bang! smash! the sound of broken glass' screems yelling.
6 cars fire on 2 of them, people stop to help-before paramedics and police arrive.
one-lady that was taken out of a car that apparently lost-control' in shock crying she stated: my husband passed-out, as a paramedic arrives' and asks her: she confessed he was and had' epilepsy.
"he & 4 others at the sceen of the accident, lost their life"

I had Surgery for Epilepsy at the age of 26 and 31. Clear after second surgery in 95 got my Drivers Licence in 96. All was new as went more places any time I wanted. Bought a brand new 2001 Toyota Corolla and on Feb.16/02 had a seizure getting in a car accident. Of course my Licence was suspended. Clear of seizures for six months able to Drive again. I was informed on Feb 2003 that someting happened once again notifing my Dr. he asked me what I was doing if there could be any reason in Winter to cause Seizures. I was still able to drive unto June 2003 and was told I had one again. This time my Neuologist had to compensate my Licence. Different medical changes but still able to work for the same Company I started with in the beginning of 97. After time went by once again clear for a lengthly time from Seizures I asked if I can drive again. This time once again getting an approval from the Government to drive again just making sure if was told if I had a Seizure to notify my Dr. Unfortunately that time came up again and I gave my Dr. my Drivers Licence. My vehicle sat over at my Parent's house for years even though I went and started it up weekly and drove around the block occasionly not able to drive or even asked for my approval to. Note came to me mentioning my name was added to be monitored with the EEG 24hrs daily.to get infomation and area that was causing Seizures. My name was on the list for 6-8 years still not able to drive finally selling my Car. A Specialist after how many years waiting phoned informing me that at my age in my mid to late 40's that I was to old and my name was going to be erased. It is a very hard aggestment to make as all the Parks and Mountain trails I went routinely walking my Dog I got as a pup for exersize Bowled both 5&10 pin weekly. Started attending Church services buying 4 suits about 20 dress shirts hard to accept dressed like that to get on a bus. To this day I'm on 4400mg's of medicaion,way more than before. As the saying goes mind over matter even not driving all these I still can tell you my Driver's Licence ID numder. My licence plate number.
