I agree.  Methinks it's really funny how a TBI (traumatic brain

Severe concussion isn’t a diagnosis, concussion is a mild brain injury,
which may or may not leave cognitive impairments, if so it’s diagnosed as
Post Concussion Syndrome.

As ever these things are notoriously difficult to give prognosis ie level

In terms of bit types being way off the bell curve now, ie my memory is

It’s less the brain injury assuming no loss of consciousness as it’s mild
that is what concussion means, I for example had to wait 6 months and the
DVLA needed a medical report etc.

I can’t believe that American is any less lax in this regard.

 That would depend largely on which part of this vast nation you live, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to know that tommy wrecked 4 cars before his license came under review, then may even have continued to drive after it was pulled.
