No reason not to drive with a cast Provided you can reach and operate all the controls in a safe and controled manner, that includes the handbrake without letting go the steering wheel
if not, you are in danger of being pulled up, prosecuted and prevented from carrying on your journey:Doh:
Most people with relevant disabilities have an adaption of some sort to facilitate the driving of a motor vehicle

Since 2005
saw a guy years ago at the IOM TT with a full pot on his left leg.

riding a bike with a bracket on the front downtube to rest his leg on.

gear lever extended to tank level so operated by hand.

he had no probs with the island police.

never saw the results of stopping and falling over to the left though:ROFLMAO:

There are two things you need to be aware of:

a) You will need to inform your insurance company because if you have an accident and havent informed them, they might not pay out.

b) You will need to contact the DVLA medical branch. They should not have a problem as it is temporary, albeit temporary, you need to let them know.

Once you have done that, go for it xxxxxxxxxxxx have a great time, make the most of not having to work xxxxxxxxxx
