As always, this answer does not constitute medical advice. I would advise talking to your Primary Care doctor or Neurologist.
This question is very tricky and very case dependent. I would talk to a neurologist about your situation since they are often the stroke specialists. I always advise caution when driving after a stroke and take it on a case-by-case basis.

Yes they can but should be cleared by their neurologists prior to engaging in that activity to make sure their vision and reflexes are appropriate.
