Hi Ricky,
You need to resit a driving test in a modified car, done this myself and it CAN be passed as you have the same amputation as I have. Speak to the medical team at DVLA and they will sort you out. You need to tell your insurance people but only out of courtesy...they will make a note of it but CANNOT increase your policy cost. I STILL drive my 3 door without ANY modifications and it's fine....get a few funny looks when I pull up for fuel and I'm wearing shorts !!!!! You need to get your leg made and fitted first though, make sure you keep doing any exercises given by the physios as this will make EVERYTHING easier. The more you do now even though it seems weird does benefit....

Will send you a PM later today. If you need ANYTHING let me know and I'll do what I can for you.


Regards Stebbo
