Why are we going car-free for epilepsy?
Many people with epilepsy are unable to drive a car. This means that they can’t drive their children to school, go to the supermarket, take their children to sports on Saturday mornings or do the things that we take for granted. If someone who drives a car suddenly develops epilepsy and loses their driver’s licence, it sometimes means that they lose their job as well.
It can be hard work organising day-to day activities when you cannot drive. People with epilepsy have to use taxis, buses, carpool, use their bikes or they walk everywhere. This takes time to organize and often people miss out on opportunities because they cannot just hop in the family car and go somewhere.
