49 days after breaking my ankle I went for a drive in my car.

Can not put a shoe on and there is not much flexibility.
Wanted to see if I could drive and the answer is yes.
Got to use my left foot to use the brakes but managed okay.

Is that not illegal in Australia??? 🤔

@HootyTheNightOwl Is what illegal?
My foot is healing, I am not wearing a moon boot, I have control of the vehicle.

@Gusman I'm just going by where you say that you don't have much flexibility in the ankle... the police may argue that you don't have adequate control of your vehicle if you get stopped, that's all... 🤔

@HootyTheNightOwl They would not know.
Unless I had an accident and had to get out of my vehicle.
It is not illegal to drive with a sore foot. It is illegal to drive with a moon boot on and the Doctor advised not to drive with the boot on.

@Gusman I'm sure that it's fine if your doctor says that you are okay to drive, then 🙂
