Yes - I have been back driving for 1 year now but am still nervous from time to time. If I ever feel in any way out of sorts, the I don't drive. I have never had any reason to be frightened but the thought is always there in the back of my mind.

Yes, I was fine when I first started back driving after having had my licence revoked for a year but although I don't fear anything happening re the epilepsy (I have complex partial seizures) my fear is my lack of ability to learn how to get to new places etc. I have moved away from my home area and understanding how to make my way around a city thats new to me has been a nightmare. I don't seem to be able to concentrate or understand new places the way I know I should. I also feel others don't really believe me. I still haven't been able to figure out how to drive to my daughters school and she's there 18 months !!!
