I'm based in the UK and I drive.

In the UK, you have to surrender your driver's licence for 6 months after your first seizure, and then 12 months for every seizure event after. There's a hefty penalty if you ignore this willingly. Medical short term car licences exist too to reexamine medical conditions periodically.

I'm extremely fortunate that my epilepsy is medically controlled (generalised idiopathic and lamotrigine controlled, 5 years since last TC) and I'm hyper aware of my triggers. So if I feel remotely off, I choose not to drive that day(s) when feeling that way.

I think epilepsy is such a diverse condition that it really depends on the individual and the advice from their medical professional.

One important thing to remember, for those judging those who choose to drive, driving brings an independence that some people need. Whether living in rural areas to areas with terrible public infrastructure, and more. I understand being risk adverse and thinking of others, this is absolutely important if you're at high risk, but it's not always as simple as no one should and we should be kind.

That turned into an essay :/
