Abstract

In Slovenia, an independent European state since 1991, with an area of 20,000 km2 and about 2 million inhabitants-the driving license regulations of former Yugoslavia are still valid. These regulations are very restrictive, requiring a seizure-free period of at least two years without any anti-epileptic drug for private driving. For vocational driving the ban is permanent. In practice epileptologists do not abide by the law (at least as far as private drivers are concerned) and they allow driving if clinical conditions are good and despite therapy.
