Abstract

Reported in this paper are the results of a 1982 pilot study which compared the driving records of epileptics receiving treatment who were known to the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) with epileptics not known to DMV to establish if there are differences in motor vehicle crash rates between the two groups. Results indicate that epileptics with grand mal and temporal or psychomotor seizures accounted for all the recorded crashes. Implications for highway safety administrators and for future research are discussed.
