Nineteen percent (148/753) of our population had a driving license (DL), including 26% (38/148) who used it. Among persons without a DL, 29% (178/605) desired one. Among those who drove (n=38), 24 worked and 8 had experienced seizures in the last 3 months. Each of these seizures occurred during sleep (5/8), were preceded by known auras and warning signs (2/8) or were provoked by extreme external factors (1/8).
