UK driving laws change today!

while this won't change anything for me hopefully it will give lots of people their independence back.

The main changes are:

• if you only have nocturnal seizures you can apply if you have only had these and no other seizures for 1 year (it used to be 3 years)
• if you have only ever had seizures that don't effect your conciousness you can reapply a year after diagnosis even if you are still having seizures
• if you change your medication and have a seizure and then go back to the medication which made you seizure free for a year before you only need to be seizure free for 6months before reapplying.

There are other more complex rules but contact the DVLA for more info on them:
