The authors consider various types of seizures and their medico-legal consequences in connection with motor vehicle driving. Epilepsy, syncope, transitory ischemic attacks, migraine, electrolyte disturbances, hypoglycaemia, hypersomnia, and alcohol-induced fits are discussed in brief. The authors also discuss risk of recurrence, the seizure-free interval before driving can be resumed, and possible mitigating factors.
