Abstract

The authors sought to identify factors associated with poor compliance with driving restrictions due to a diagnosis of epilepsy. They compared the demographic and clinical characteristics of 60 patients with epilepsy who, despite the authors' recommendation, continued to drive, with those of 60 age- and sex-matched epileptic patients who refrained from driving. The results showed that patients with epilepsy do not comply with driving restrictions, mainly for employment-related reasons.
