Download: MS Word MS Word (49KB)
Summary: After my crainiotomy, I experienced a series of focal seizures. I was concerned about how these seizures would affect, if at all, my ability to drive and specifically what the law stated about this issue. I live in the State of California in the USA so this document is specific to that but there are definitions in here that may pertain to your laws where you live. Nonetheless, I thought I would include this information. If you are experiencing seizures and are concerned, I would suggest looking into your local laws.
