We’ve done some weird tows the last four weeks . More later . Just wondered what restrictions or targets others set 😉

As far as I am aware there are no laws prohibiting driving with one arm , hand or shoulder in a sling. Some people only have one arm from birth or because of accident.. If I’m on my own I have a Blue Desert bottle adapter so I can drink using a tube into a standard cap bottle, rather than hold the bottle, which could be deemed illegal.
You are right about driving with one arm but the car will probably have been adapted to cater for that situation. There’s nothing in the Highway Code about driving time but 148 gives general advice about distractions. If you search the web there are plenty of hits relating to drivers receiving a FPN or offered a driving awareness course due to being seen eating or drinking at the wheel. Those that object and opt to go to court generally seem to receive a decent fine plus pointsAs far as I am aware there are no laws prohibiting driving with one arm , hand or shoulder in a sling.

I can’t find anything in the Highway Code that restricts driving time in a private car. HGVs and PSVs are as you say restricted.
Would my car have to be adapted because at present my right leg is in infected and i have zinc paste bandage from my toes to my knee i can still drive but in small does so my wife learning how to drive with been automatic she thinks the brake peddle is the clutch but slowly it coming but it will take time.You are right about driving with one arm but the car will probably have been adapted to cater for that situation.

University of Leeds did a lot of research into driver fatigue and distractions and performance took measurable dips in concentration and/or response time. Both facets that are also age affected.
