Epileptics should not be on road be of the WHAT BIG IF FACTOR. You never now when one will happen and and YOU will hurt yourself and OTHERS. ericthom3

I am fortunate to be able to drive, but will not get a handicapped placard...and this is just my feeling on it, since I can walk the extra distance, I will leave the handicapped spaces for those more in need than me. Even when I could not drive for a couple of years when my seizures were uncontrolled, I still did not use the placard. I feel the handicapped spaces are more for people on crutches, walkers, or wheelchairs that need the extra room to get in and out of their cars, and a shorter distance to go if using a cane. A friend suggested I get the placard but I don't see a reason to as I am capable of walking. If I can't walk the further distance, I have no business even being out that day.

I have drop seizures! That is the basic reason but I love walking and hiking! They said less bruising! I have designs of art on my body! My husband says let’s park farther from the stores to get exercise! I see people taking the handicap spots that don’t need it. I use them when I have had a rough sz day and cannot walk to far!

Never been allowed to get my licence cause of the epilepsy you have to be two years free of a seizure in Australia to get one, haven't been since I was 10, but I walk alot helps keep me fit and saves me alot of money.

I have a friend who is handicapped who I drive around. They gave me a handicap placard to use when I take them places, but I won't use it. I think if Epilepsy is a handicap for me driving, I shouldn't be driving. I don't have problems walking. Someone who really needs a handicapped parking spot may need it more anyway!
