Default Can I drive this car with a broken leg?

Got into a little trouble yesterday at Mt. Snow in Vermont, demo-ing some new K2 Mach S's, and after a reverse, twisting fall, wound up with a fractured fibula. I'll be seeing my orthopedic on Thursday, and I'm wondering if there's some sort of cast he can put on ( the fracture is near my ankle) that will enable me to continue to drive. ( Not that I have a job or anything to go to). Any advice?

Default My mom tried to drive automatic with a broken leg a few years ago... it was really dangerous.

She only did it once, because I forgot my backpack at school and no one else was around (I still get crap from my sisters about that).

Your doctor will eventually have the final say, though.

Default I did it for 10 weeks....

Last year I had my right ankle reconstructed and I drove an automatic. It took some getting used to, in the end it was perfect.

Not dangerous at all!!
