I got a concept for us all...we get to be as human as the rest and work, have family's, drive, marry, birth children, pay for ourselves just like the rest...

I would get my license and if you're paranoid then have a passenger in case so they can take the wheel. but really its been 5 years. its down to do you feel comfortable driving. I have visual type seizures and if I've been having some that day I won't drive because I don't feel comfortable. but on a day I'm good I'll drive.maybe drive around an empty lot and see how you feel first
