I do not know that there is a law that governs this or simply precedent of docs being successfully sued when a patient has driven and then injured another party.
Can't say for certain but as Dovster's mom's doc perhaps did not actually see her in a state of unconsciousness then he can't report her on her say-so alone.
A friend of mine has had a couple of seizures. Doc reported first one to motor vehicles as he saw it but did not report a second one as that info came as a verbal report from the patient.
