From the socio‐medical points of view, the problem of a driving license for people with epilepsy was discussed. It was concluded that not only seizure but also the presence of side‐effects of drugs and of personality change should be assessed to allow them the license. Finally, a medical guideline was proposed for the driving license for people with epilepsy.
