Can I drive with NEAD?
There are no specific rules about NEAD and driving. However, if your attacks involve a sudden loss of awareness with no warning then you should not drive.
In the United Kingdom, you should inform the Drivers and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) who will make a decision about whether you will be allowed to continue to drive (or when you can start to drive again) on a case by case basis.
For more information you can contact the DVLA on 0870 600 0301 or go to the DVLA website.
The DVLA are likely to contact your neurologist for information about your attacks. You may want to discuss your individual circumstances with your neurologist.
If your attacks stop in the future you will be able to apply to the DVLA to reclaim your driving licence.
