There are different rules in different parts of the world. Generally, if someone has not had a seizure for a period of time, they will be allowed to drive. The amount of time specified will be different in different parts of the world. It could be anything from about 6 months to 2 years. It must be said that driving if you have epilepsy is a risk to the driver, any passengers and other road users, so someone with a history of epilepsy needs to be very careful and take good medical advice before deciding to drive.

∙ 14y agoYes you could be. There are not a lot of things that a person with epilepsy can't do. Because of the different forms of epilepsy and different causes and different severity that can be found, some things are harder to do for some people than others. Someone with epilepsy would not be allowed to become a pilot or drive a bus, but some are allowed to drive their own cars, depending on how their epilepsy is. For the vast majority of the time, someone with epilepsy is capable of doing anything. It is only because a seizure can be unpredictable and cause a person to lose conciousness that there is a danger, if they happened to be doing something dangerous at the time. If their epilepsy is well controlled or very mild, they are capable of working in a lot of jobs.
