Seizure-Disorder Truckers Keep Driving
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration renewed exemptions for 17 named drivers who have epilepsy or seizure disorders so they may continue to drive commercial motor vehicles across state lines. These drivers have had one or more seizures, take anti-seizure medication, and are exempted from the FMCSR rule that normally bars drivers with a history or diagnosis of epilepsy or conditions likely to cause loss of consciousness. The renewal lets those 17 people keep working as interstate truck drivers.
