Well, being diagnosed during my high-school years I've never driven. Carpooling or Uber are the safest options. But if you really would rather to get yourself to work and go alone, use an electric bike, electric scooter etc. Basically any vehicle that doesn't require a license. The wait time for a license clearance is 6 months at the least. So it ain't that bad. No stress my dude :)

I lost my license in 97 due to having a seizure. I had to be, either 6 months or a year seizure free, I can't remember exactly how long it was, before my neurologist cleared me, to have it reinstated.

I grew up knowing I would never drive. It is illegal and probably foolish for someone who can space. out being out on the road. I had 2 driving lessons with family in parking lotsdisater trees everywhere. There was driving cross country with my brother being crushed against the driver's door while controlling the pedals. It was pretty funny. ericthom3

Thought I was seizure free in 1973. I noted cars were speeding around me twice coming home from college. Confused on off ramp. Taking a statistics class woke up in hospital. Lost my driver’s license. Had no idea what happened. My EEG was indicating status. Haven’t driven since then! Had no idea I had them so bad!
