I would just stay out of it and let his co workers and friends that know about it make the call.

I don't think you should go out of your way to get him fired. If it's meant to happen it'll happen. No need to try and add to the fire. ya know.

He is lying to keep a job that he shouldn't have. Assuming that you overheard him correctly I would absolutely contact someone. Maybe not his employer but, like 002 said, someone at the police or in the DMV.
There are plenty of other jobs for people who have seizures to go into and just because someone enjoys their job is not a good reason to put other people's lives at risk.
There is a reason why people who have seizures aren't allowed to drive - people get killed by them.
You might think it's heartless and horrible to make someone potentially lose their job but it would be more heartless and horrible to watch and do nothing while he drives past potential victims every night.
Imagine the news story in the local paper, "Man has seizure whilst driving and kills bystander, local man knew of condition but elected not to raise his concerns with drivers employer."
You would think that man is a moron and I think you'd be right to do so.

MegadethGFX wrote I was in the hospital the other night and I could overhear they guy in the next room talking to his mom on the phone. He was telling her that his girlfriend brought him to the emergency room cause he had eight mini-seizures though-out the day. He told his mom to call his boss and say that he twisted his ankle or something. He said if his boss finds out he has seizures that he would fire him. It turns out this guy is a delivery driver for Pep-Boys. I know people that have seizures are not allowed to drive at all. He said he can sort of feel them coming on and just pulls over. I'm afraid he's going to have a bad one, run a red light, and kill someone. I know he works at the Pep-Boys by my house so there is a chance the person he kills could be me or my family. Should I contact hiss boss somehow and tell him what I know?
I'd say yes to perhaps mention this to his boss. I don't know what Pep-Boys is but if he had a seizure it could possibly do something to endanger himself and customers. Especially if he has one at work which ended up being quite a bad one and it involved or sorts of high powered people throughout the emergency services and the company which might end up with the boss getting in a lot of trouble, even though his employee lied about his condition. They might be able to do something for him to make sure nothing triggers off these seizures, like something put in place to work around his condition?
Telling his boss would be the right thing to do.
