Driving laws after having a seizure?

Question

My mom had two seizures today, one of which i witnessed and called 911 for, the other in the E.R., and a doctor mentioned that she might not be able to drive? We live in new hampshire (usa), and he said the law in massachusetts is that one has to wait 6 months and be seizure free until you are able to drive again? (as to prevent an accident harming herself and/or others) does anyone know the exact law for my state? i would really like to know... please answer.

Answer 1

Most states requires 1 year waiting period.  From what I have reviewed, your state requires that you cant drive for 6 months seizure-free but you need an all clear by your doctor.

Please make sure she goes to all required tests and take the medication as prescribed.

Answer 3

Her doctor should know the laws for restricting her driving privilege. Doctors know more than we think and they can give the correct answer.
