So, you’ve had a lung transplant and you’re itching to get back behind the wheel?
.
Buckle up, because, in Australia, it’s not as simple as just hopping in and driving off into the sunset!
.
Here’s the lowdown on what it takes to get your license back:
.
💚First things first, you need a doctor’s clearance. They’ll check if you’re physically and mentally fit to drive.
.
💚Next, you’ll likely need to take a driving assessment to prove you’ve still got the skills. Parallel parking with new lungs? Challenge accepted!
.
💚Finally, you might need to have some restrictions on your license, like only driving during the day or avoiding highways.
.
It might seem like a lot, but hey, it’s all about keeping you and everyone else on the road safe!
.
You could be looking at 3-6 months depending on your recovery.
