ABSTRACT
In Korea, current status of epilepsy and driving are challenging and there are lack of formal legal guidelines about driving in patients with epilepsy. According to the default standards in Korean Road Traffic law, patients with epilepsy are restricted or prohibited from driving except who are conditionally allowed to drive by the Aptitude Judgement Committee (AJC). Though the AJC consist of medical doctors and traffic officials, new regulation and guidelines are required for various type of seizure and characteristics of patients with epilepsy. This review outlines the current applicable legislation about epilepsy and driving in Korea as well as that of the overseas country calling for new laws to establish a consistent assessment.
