Hi Jason is the Keppra for epilepsy? Normally is.

Assuming it is see gov.uk/epilepsy-and-driving

Essentially a year since last seizure.

If you are on Keppra then I'm guessing you have epilepsy. You would need to inform the DVLA and get medically ok'd by them to drive even for lessons. If you don't you would be breaking the law and if you are involved in an accident you would invalidate any insurance so you would be liable to pay if you were in a driving school car or someone else's who was teaching you to drive. As Roger says it is a year since last epileptic fit before you would get the ok.
