Depends on the car, mine's a small car with power steering and I was driving after a week and a half, with my daughter whose 15 putting it into 5th gear and reversefor me, that was the hardest bit to achieve. I live in the country so its a necessity to drive, so I had to know that I could do it in case of an emergency. At 3 weeks it was no problem at all though. HOW SOON AFTER BA CAN I DRIVE 184153

Depends a bit. An auto is easier than a manual. I was driving short distances in my auto with power steering at 5 days post op

My insurance stated that I couldn't drive for a week after surgery so I haven't even gone near it. 7 days is up today so I'm going to drive it up the road and see how it feels. It's a proper old knackered thing heavy gears and clutch so I'll let you know how I get on!

I drove after a week too. Just be careful, I felt fine to drive but 9 days post op I had to go on the motorway and hadn't realised how hard I would find it to get into 5th and 6th gear!! Reverse wasnt so bad for me - I used two hands which I found helped to give me the strength! xxx

I'm 10 days post op and haven't tried driving yet but i'm itching to get back behind the wheel. I'm not back at work until Friday so got another 4 days yet before I NEED to drive but i'm at the point now where i really WANT to get in the car and get my independence back! I'm a terrible passenger! Its strange to think that something we take for granted may be difficult for a while. xxx

I drove after 4 days... Very naughty! As I couldn't turn the wheel properly and change gears without it hurting! I had to use both hands to reverse! I'd say a good 7-10 days Hun xx also check with ur insurance company! Xx

I was told 2 weeks. I drove for the first time after 11 days. it was a bit tricky - went back to threading the steering wheel and couldn't use 5th gear! if I need to I went straight to 6th (lucky i have that option!)

it's only been the last week that i can comfortably use 5th gear.

leave it as long as you can I say! although you might go a bit crazy!

I drove after 4 days, but an automatic and was sure to just scoot my hands around the wheel and didn't cross my arms over my body whilst turning the wheel
