Driving restrictions after an ICD has fired

I live in NJ and have been told by my doctor that i must now wait six months before I can drive again .
Is there an actual law?

Although there is no "law" in most places it is not suggested. If a crash occured, whether caused by firing or not insurance has the right to not cover it ( and they have access to medical records). If this were to happen there is a danger of civil suites and/or charges. Best to follow advise and be safe!

From what I call tell its a grey area in Ontario only the ministry can suspend you, a doctor will have to forward your info to them then you should receive a letter stating you've been suspended.

I've been suspended since October and now after two therapies am suspended until August so I know your frustration.
