...why you opted not to do ahead withdriver evaluation. It's true that 
the motor vehicle administration is automatically advised, but don't you 
require their blessing before driving again? In my case, I did have the 
evaluation in occupational therapy, the state MVa was advises, they did 
have me come before a medical review board, they have asked me back for a 
reaction-time test, and hopefully that's the last obstacle. Are you 
driving now? Hope you don't find this question overly intrusive.
Best,
Harry

It's all a matter of luck.  My wife went for her driver's license and 
previously she had reported that she had MS.  When see went for her 
license the people helped her fill out the forms and other things.  I  
believe it's just a matter of being lucky.
