FAQ
When can I get my driving licence back?
If you have had any kind of seizure you are required to contact the DVLA (0870 600 0301) and are likely to lose your licence for at least twelve months. DVLA (Driving Vehicle Licensing Authority) regulations mean that people need to be free of seizures for twelve months before they can hold a driving licence. This includes seizures which do not involve a loss of consciousness and people who have had a one-off seizure.
The rules for sleep seizures differ. People who have had a period of three years with only sleep seizures and but no seizures when awake can also have their licence back.
The regulations for LGV / PCV licences are different and stricter. For more Information get the 
Epilepsy and Driving leaflet.
People who are unable to drive because of a seizure are entitled to free bus travel throughout Scotland. Call our helpline on 0808 800 2 200 for further information and see:
