Hi 

im booked in for my band on 18th and just wondered how long it was before you felt well enough to drive?

I'm a single mum and know the taxi service will be needed lol :-)

    I'd say a week and you should be feeling ok to drive. The turning to look behind was a bit stiff though. smile

    Yes, I would agree; about a week if not a little more. I found that reversing hurt as you sometimes have to twist aroubd and wearing the seatbelt felt a bit sore.

    Hi Dory

    I had to do a school run on day 4 - it was fine but it's not a long way ....

    If you can give it a bit longer I would recommend that really!

    Good Luck !!
