Summary: Driving regulations in the state of wisconsin have evolved In 1987, changes in these regulations focuseed the problem on loss of consciouness and bodily control of drivers rather than on specific diagnostic entities such as epilepsy or diabetes mellitus. Current wisconsin law encompasses loss of consciousness or events affecting bodily control, nop matter what the cause. Current regulations balance individual needs with the of safety for society Neurologists are encouraged come involved to keep the process of regulation with the dynamic changes in medical care and in portaion techonology (e.g. air bags, roll bars, etc).
