I just broke my leg at footy training on the weekend. I'm going to have a cast on for two months but I need to be able to drive my car to work and uni during the week. Can I drive with a cast on my leg?

- Prior to driving you must obtain the permission of your doctor. If the cast is only on one leg you may be limited to driving an automatic vehicle. It is unlikely that you would be allowed to drive a manual vehicle.
- People with casts on both legs are not recommended to drive.
