Can i still drive???

<< < (2/4) > >>

Sider:
With a broken ankle, the question I'd ask is wether you want to drive. Injured joint+in a cast+sitting up with foot under the level of the body+inmobile=painful throbing aedema (inflamation with fluid scaping to places where it shouldn't be).

In all honesty, sit back with your leg up for at least a couple of weeks. When you can walk without crutches, you might be ready to drive. Before that, you are tempting fate (medically, not legally) and quite likely hampering your recovery.

no your not insured!
was told by my doctor that i couldnt when i broke my wrist.
but when i called the insurance company all they said was "we will not stop you from driving" which in my eyes isnt a "yes"  and therefore a nono

dxmedia:
NO!!!

How much do you value your ankle working?   A lot more than a couple of weeks not driving I presume?

Sit back, relax and let it heal before using it.

A broken wrist is a different kettle of broken altogether - you need both hands to drive (in theory at least) whereas an automatic only needs one good foot.

Your doctor was right .. the insurance company was irresponsible .. and (if you drove) you were recklessly stupid  :twisted:

Of course the insurance company won't stop you from diving but they'll use the injury to wriggle out of any claim you might make. You're analysis on that score was right  :D

morson4x4:
dont see why not  as u dont use the other foot for auto however like one of them said could trap it somewhere in the foot well, personally let the wife drive say you feel depressed you cant drive go to pub get [!Expletive Deleted!] and get her to drive you home later (not like milking it is fun  :dance: :doh: :twisted:)
