I just imagine it would depend on your range of motion after you are on your way to healing. What levels are you talking about. I have hardwear in my neck front and back from C4 thru L4. So yes, my whole thoracic and almost all cervical and lumbar. I do drive although i have a somewhat limited range of motion. I have recently purchased a rear view mirror that is supposed to take away the blind spot and give a wider range of vision than a regular rear view. I have yet to install it though.
What did your doc say about driving?
