I would tell your doctor that he is crazy - My accident could have caused death to many people - I went through a red light durring rush hour and a busy intersection.

My doctors wife also has this and she is not allowed to drive at all. People with this problem need to be aware that it can happen at anytime and you need to have a plan if you are on the ROAD - This si very very very important. STOP your car imediately - I don't care if you are in the middle of the freeway. You need to know it could hit you anytime - while standing or sitting

My advise know your triggers - this is the most important thing

If you have a trigger do not drive that day at all - I now do not drive after being cut, poked, stung, or even when I see the dentist.

This can be very serious if you do not know how to recognize ALL your triggers!!!!!! Remember the little things. If your trigger is heat - a hot shower may set you off or a hot cup of coffee durning a time where you are already warm.
