186. てんかん
てんかんは、意識、運動、感覚、認知などに変化を生じる反復性発作を起こすことがある神経疾患です。発作中は一時的に車両を安全に制御できなくなるため、運転適性と免許要件へ影響します。規則は国によって異なり、発作の種類、発作がない期間、治療、医学的評価などによって決まります。発作を経験した人は適用される運転規則に従い、再び運転する前に医療専門家へ相談します。
Can epilepsy affect your ability to drive?
Yes. A seizure can cause loss of awareness, consciousness or vehicle control, so epilepsy can affect whether a person is medically fit to drive.
Can a person with epilepsy have a driving licence?
In many countries, yes, provided specific medical and seizure-free requirements are met. The exact conditions depend on the country, licence category and individual medical situation.
What should you do after having a seizure?
Do not assume it is safe to continue driving. Seek medical advice and check the applicable driving-licence rules, because a temporary period without driving may be required.
Why is a seizure-free period required for driving?
A seizure-free period helps assess the risk of another seizure occurring while driving. The required period varies depending on the type and cause of the seizure and local regulations.
Can epilepsy medication affect driving?
Yes. Anti-seizure medicines can sometimes cause effects such as drowsiness, dizziness or reduced concentration. Changes in treatment can also affect seizure control, so medical advice should be followed.
Are driving rules stricter for professional drivers with epilepsy?
Usually, yes. Drivers of trucks, buses and vehicles used for certain professional transport generally face stricter medical fitness requirements because of the greater potential consequences of a seizure while driving.
