Although I could have got in the car whenever I wanted, I guess my insurance company would have taken a dim view if I driven up the back of someone. I have a manual (stick shift) car though so need my left foot to be on the clutch while stoppiing, I guess if you had an auto box you could left foot break, and therefore only need your ATR foot to operate the 'go' pedal.

Is it possible to drive earlier with boot on? Thx! Did you drive for the first time at 10 weeks? Is it possible to drive earlier with boot on? Thx!
