My brother has his first ever seizure when he was driving. It was completely out of the blue with no history at all of any other seizure activity.
That’s how first seizures present - the person can be absolutely anywhere and doing absolutely anything. Including driving.
He later went on to be diagnosed with epilepsy after investigations began as to what had happened to him.
Thankfully the only person injured was himself but if he was in a public area then he could easily have killed other people.
Just because her first seizure “conveniently” happened when she was driving, that doesn’t mean it’s not the truth. This could just be a very, very tragic accident.
My brother still doesn’t drive as his team still cant stabilise his despite trying various medication and its stories like this that will probably make him never want to drive again, even if he does go the 12 month seizure-free time period that the DVLA request before returning a licence.
As many posters have said though, about 1 in 20 people have epilepsy…. and they all had to have their “first seizure” somewhere. For some people it’s when they’re at home, for some it’s when they’re in the middle of doing their shopping and for some it’s whilst they’re driving.
