Driving With a Cast on Arm or Leg

Recently broke my two legs three screws in left rod in right I can drive e a car and walk with little limp happened 10-26-16 is that long enough start training school Feb 6th

 

Im not entirely sure but i believe that would be illegal. I know a person needs to have full function with all 4 limbs to get a CDL.

Not saying it cant be done but i wouldnt risk it unless i absolutely had to

 

Don't do it.

That cast is in there for a reason. You cannot be limited in your body range of motion and function. For example a three point contact getting into and out of the tractor. You must have all 4 limbs in good working order.

You will find that cast to be a house of pain you don't want on bad roads.

Finally you have this to consider, you need a SPE. A skill performance evaluation for missing or impaired OR even prosthetic limbs)

Yup. Take the performance evaluation and get the waiver, or don't drive. That's the "legal" answer. As we all know, life happens, and if you've got bills to pay and can't sit for 6-8 weeks, well, "don't get caught".

 

I was docked next to a driver with one arm. Guess he passed the evaluation. Bet he was driving an automatic.
