My understanding is that anyone who has suffered a fit or seizure is required by law to surrender their driving licence and needs to be "fit free" for a period of at least a year before they can re-apply to be able to drive again.
I think it highly unlikely that our heroine would continue to drive after her fit/seizure.
Yes, we found that strange as well. Especially in the first episode when Rudy asked her to go and not witness his lethal injection. She was driving on that stretch of motor way. Got out of the car, walked some distance and then proceeded to have a fit, then lay there for how long?
She heard the phone going in the car BUT she was a long distance from the car. Then drove again!!!!!!
She could in danger herself as well as other road users especially in the UK. Meaning when she was driving in USA she hardly passed anyone.

Maybe I missed it, but did Maya ever even have the MRI???? Apparently these fits were caused by stress. They came right after she left the prison thinking he had been executed and then again after her best friend told her that she saw Nick kissing another woman at the college. SHE SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST 7 or 8 MORE STRESS RELATED FITS!!!!!
shareNot a problem it is a disability and as we know even blind people are driving [well according to one idiot who got a car through disability] If it is not diagnosed or reported ever who would find out. Does say a lot about our heroine though and I thought it was THREE years seizure free. My worry is that the medication to keep an epiletpic seizure free is not exactly something I would allow anyone using, to drive around. Also when did driving become a STRESS free activity. I practically have a [hissy] fit every day at the crass bad manners and endangering driving of many road users. While it is not all so many are in German built cars. Some youths have epilepsy for years but somehow 'grow' out of it. Just how many have had crashes while in a fit? The head injury picked up might cause a fit later of course and the underlying disorder not thought about. Perhaps all known epileptics should be through some ECG testing at yearly intervals. We know that the yellow lines at the end of carriage ways can cause a fit if the frequency affects the driver.
