Fitness for automobile driving of patients at an epilepsy outpatient care unit

Patients who were free from seizures and not in possession of a driving license were examined for reasons for their being considered unfit to drive at an outpatient care centre for epileptics catering for 477 patients. The composition of the group was analyzed in respect of age, sex, intake of pharmaceuticals, risk factors and appropriateness of behaviour in traffic. Corresponding conclusions are drawn.
