Can a GP clear someone to drive after seizures in Singapore?

Doctor's Answer

Good question. As explained by Dr Paul, a different doctor is not going to give you a different assessment.

If anything, he is more likely to ask for the letter/records from your neurologist, and follow his advice accordingly. This would be the most sensible thing to do, given that your neurologist would have followed you up all along, and would be best placed to assess your clinical picture and suitability for resuming driving.

Having said that, in direct answer to your question, “Can a GP clear someone to drive after seizures in Singapore?” – the answer is yes. All doctors can, as long as the necessary criteria are fulfilled.

On a more practical level, as a follow-up, you may want to consider emailing your neurologist directly (or phoning up the hospital to bring forward your TCU), in order to raise your query. This will at least help you to better understand your situation, and the reason he has advised for the 2 year seizure-free period.
