Can I drive with frontal lobe epilepsy?

I have just been diagnosed with frontal lobe epilepsy, it has taken a long time, a lot of different head scans/tests etc. It was detected by a sleep deprivation EEG, and my dosage of lamotrigine (medication) is going up. I was just wondering, since I do not know when these little seizure things happen, would I be able to obtain a driving license and actually drive? (in the UK)

Any info & help would be appreciated, thanks.

I am going to say NO. petit mal seizures can deviate your path of concentration and you may lose focus of the task at hand. You might kinda space out which can lead to an accident. and as with all Epilepsy there is always the risk of having a grand mal seizure which would be very bad if you were behind the wheel. that being said, the lesion on your brain that causes the seizures may disappear with the medication in which case you will be able to drive. If you are still having petit mal at this time though it would be risky to be behind the wheel. Your best bet would be to wait a while too see how well the medication helps and how long you go without having a seizure. Good Luck!

Its an international law that everyone can drive except a person with epilepsy as epileptics can have a seizure episode anytime anywhere. Its better for your own safety and the safety of others THAT U REFRAIN FROM DRIVING. Plus u will never be given a driver's license if u epileptic
