At what age do you stop driving?

I have Epilepsy and I'm not going to allow it to dictate my life. I am allowed to drive so I do. I didn't drive for about 45 years because I was having frequent seizures. Besides having my licence revoked I wasn't willing to take a chance. I haven't had a seizure since 2019. There is usually a one year restriction after a seizure in California. Anything can happen to anyone at any time, your daughter and grandkids included. My brother was driving to get garden supplies when he had his first seizure. He was critically injured. There are 16 Countries if your diagnosed with Epilepsy that never allow you to drive again.
Does it bother you to depend on others? I did me. I want to be as independent as I can. It makes me feel better about myself.
Take care,
Jake

that's the point of this discussion. it is your right to still drive if you feel comfortable enough to do it. nobody but the law has the right to say you can't.it's up to each individual to decide this point. like i said. i don't feel comfortable MYSELF, and only me. and if you do and can. i say more power to you. d
