How can a person with epilepsy learn how to drive?

As a seizure can happen at any time, someone who is driving at the time is obviously a potential risk. Different countries have different laws relating to driving and epilepsy. Someone who has any history of epilepsy is often barred for life from driving something like a bus and there is no way they could ever get a pilot license. For a car, it is often a case that they have to be clear of seizures for a period of time, like a year or two, before they will be allowed to get a driving license. A truck being a larger vehicle, poses a larger potential risk on a road, so the law would be stricter, but that depends on where someone is. It differs from one place to another. You would need to check with the laws where you are.
