Maybe that statement could have been accompanied by the acknowledgement that many ME/CFS patients are able to drive safely, but I guess when discussing the law, this is usually about restrictions, and what you cannot do.
My only comment on any MEA driving advice that is eventually included on the MEA website would be to note that there is mild, moderate and severe ME/CFS.
I would think virtually all mild ME/CFS patients would be able drive safely, and many mild patients are able to perform full or part time work.
I would also think that most severe ME/CFS patients will not be able to drive safely.
So perhaps the gray area resides in the moderate ME/CFS group, where ME/CFS symptoms begin to get significant enough to impinge on your driving ability.
