Driving with an Achilles tendon brace raises many questions for people recovering from an injury. Can you still drive safely, and what about your insurance? Whether you are an athlete, recovering from surgery or simply want to remain mobile, it is important to know what you are allowed to do and what is sensible. If you would like more information about driving with a brace, please read on and find out what you need to bear in mind. What are the rules for driving with an Achilles tendon brace? British law does not prohibit driving with a brace, but you must always be able to drive safely. This means that you must have full control over the accelerator, brakes and, if applicable, the clutch. When using an Achilles tendon brace, your mobility may be limited, which can affect your driving ability. The ultimate responsibility lies with you as the driver. If you are not yet mobile enough, accidents can occur.
