car insurance after surgery

[carmalee]

Does any one know if I'm required to inform my car insurance provider that I'm having surgery and then let them decide when I'm fit to resume driving or can I take the advice given out with my op and 'resume driving when comfortable' - usually about two weeks in this case.I live out in the sticks a bit so want to be back driving asap. Just a bit worried insurance people may say something like six to eight weeks just to be on the safe side!

I'd take the doctor's advice and say nothing to the insurance company. If you continue to drive while the doctors says not to you would have touble making a claim, otherwise there is no need to draw attention to it. Its bound to put the premiums up and make you higher risk.

eactly my thinking maidup - thanks for that - ps am in right in offering you congrats for a win on Saturday's Derby or have I remembered it wrong?

Yes thank you I turned £15 into £100 and am delighted!!

I hope all goes well for your surgery and you're up and about within a couple of weeks. Drive safely ;-)

thank you SamS - think you're right - although at the moment don't feel as though I'll ever be able to go near a car again let alone drive one - ouch, ouch ouch!
