In England you have to be seizure free for a year to get your licence back. I lost mine 6 years ago. I have gone over a year without a seizure at one point was just sending off my paperwork to re-apply and after 54 weeks I had the worst seizure I've ever had. Imagine what would have happened if I HAD been driving...Since then I have decided myself that it's just too big a risk to take. I've kind of got used to it now, and I travel mostly by bus ( most routes in our large town have buses every 10-15 mins, my local route between my home and the town centre is every 7 mins). I travel to other local towns and London by train. I guess it is very important to be near very good public transport if you know you're never going to be able to drive again. I also use taxi's to get my shopping home. Gave up long ago trying to get a week's shopping for 4 people home on the bus! I would advise the move to a big city with good transport it gives you the ability to get out if you can without feeling unable to do it yourself.
