Abstract

Driving is an important issue for people with epilepsy. Doctors need to understand the Road Traffic Act and give appropriate advice and guidance to patients. Driving is legally allowed for a person without seizures, impaired awareness, or motor components for more than 2 years. Although there is no specific rule about the first unprovoked seizure, observing for 6 months is recommended before starting to drive. If we notice a patient driving despite having seizures, we can report this to the National Public Safety Commission without violating confidentiality.

てんかんのある人にとって自動車運転の可否は重要な問題である。医師は道路交通法を理解し,適切な助言や運転指導を行う必要がある。患者の運転適性は,意識障害や運動障害を伴う発作が2年以上ないことが求められる。初回の非誘発性発作の場合は法的な規定はないが,6カ月間を目安として経過観察をする。てんかん発作があり,運転しないよう指示を受けたにもかかわらず患者が自動車運転を続けた場合,医師は任意の届け出が可能で,それは守秘義務違反とならない。
