Patients who have seizures during which they lose awareness or "black out" should not be driving until they are seizure free, on medication. New Jersey state law is strict about driving with an epileptic condition. However, once seizures are well-controlled, your epileptologist will give you the clearance to drive if they consider it safe. Patients whose seizures do not progress to loss of awareness (seizure aura only) may not have to stop driving, provided they do not have impairment of their vision and they have adequate warning to pull over if needed until the feeling passes.
