    Last year a friend of mine knocked a motorcyclist off who was undertaking him. He was doing a left turn off a main road at the time. There was no video footage of the accident but he was told by the police when he was summoned that motorcyclists always have right of way and it is perfectly legal to undertake a car that is signaling to turn left (or right).

     

    I wasn't there at the time of the accident but I went with him to the police station and  was present when the translator explained this to us.

    IT IS NOT LEGAL TO UNDERTAKE WHETHER IT BE MOTORBIKE, PICKUP, CAR, OR BUS.

    It is ILLEGAL .....

    After a big seizure I was diagnosed with epilepsy my neurologist told me she would not formally take my license as long as I promised not to drive until she said so. I immediately sold my car and did not drive for 18 months. Even now I never drive for work, I use a car service if I have to go somewhere.

     

    The problem (at least in the US) is that no neurologist ever wants to sign off and say you are fit to drive. If anything ever happened they would be liable in court. So if you do lose your license the change of you ever getting it back again is slim.

     

    That being said, anyone having a seizure while driving should definitely be evaluated for their capability to drive and not drive until they have this under control.

    I do NOT THINK any records are kept regarding a person going to see a doc at a clinic.....so YES must have clearance from a BRAIN DOC.....who, no doubt will NOT CHECK brain for driving skills !!!

       How about not allowed to drive for 3-6 months and again only after clearance from a neurologist ?  

     

    good idea.....I do NOT THINK any records are kept regarding a person going to see a doc at a clinic.....so YES must have clearance from a BRAIN DOC.....who, no doubt will NOT CHECK brain for driving skills !!!

    Never again may be a little harsh.

    If the cause of the seizure can be pinpointed after medical testing and all possible precautions are taken he should be allowed to drive. 

    Many drivers have had medical episodes which have been proven to be very random or most likely not repeatable and continue to hold a drivers license. 

    people with epilepsy should NOT be allowed to drive.....they could have a fit/seizure at any time....

    Don't worry, once the first couple of tourists have been fined and imprisoned for having a smoke the problem will go away.

    As will the tourists...
