You could, but it is not advisable to drive any kind of vehicle if you have epilepsy. Different countries have different rules in terms of driving with epilepsy and how long someone has to be seizure-free before they can be allowed to drive.
What should you record following a seizure?
When it happened. How long it lasted. The type of seizure. How the person felt before and after the seizure. Did they have an aura? Any potential reasons for the seizure. If you are the person who has had the seizure, some of the information can obviously only be got by someone who saw the seizure, so you will need to talk to them. If no one saw it, just record what you know. If you are recording details of another person's seizure, then you will need to get some information from them.

What happens after a seizure like days after?
Once a seizure is finished, a person will soon start to get back to normal. Within hours or even minutes, they will be fine. If they had a very bad seizure, they may feel unwell for some time, maybe still feeling a little unwell the day after, like still having a bit of a headache. They may not have another seizure for a very long time. So there may be nothing particular that will happen days after a seizure. Everything will be back to normal long before that.

Why is an epileptic shock?
It is possible to die from an epileptic seizure, but it is extremely rare. It would have to be a very severe seizure to do that. You can die indirectly as a result of a seizure, like if you fell from a high place as a result of a seizure or were engaged in some other dangerous activity and had a seizure. This is why people with epilepsy are not advised to drive. Having a seizure while driving could result in a crash and the death of the driver. The death would be a result of the crash, not the seizure itself. Most seizures in themselves are not dangerous. They may cause a temporary loss of conciousness. For most situations that is not a problem and the seizure will pass and the person will recover. That is what happens for the vast majority of people who have seizures. They lead very normal and long lives.
What happens after having a petit mal seizure?
