Can people with epilepsy drive?
Most states require a person to be seizure-free for a specific amount of time before obtaining a regular driver’s license. New Jersey law calls for a one-year, seizure-free period: Applications to drive are reviewed by a special unit within the Division of Motor Vehicles. Additionally, New Jersey has a mandatory physician reporting requirement under which doctors must inform the state when they treat people over 16 years of age who have epilepsy.
