Bureaucracy.

Having such a procedure done is a notifiable (legality) thing regarding ones drivers license, with VicRoads / RTA.

The normal limitation is no driving for 6 weeks, though my surgeon indicated I could drive again after 4 weeks, as long as I tell my insurance company that he said it's OK, and provide them with his contact details regarding same.

However...
Rehab told me that notifying them involves obtaining a form from them that requires signing off by my GP.
Once they hand me the form it starts the clock ticking and if they don't get the form back within 10 working days my drivers license will be automatically cancelled!
A Class 3 (heavy rigid / commercial) license has even tighter restrictions... Having a combined multiple category license also means that if cancelled then it affects all categories.

Not good when living in a rural area; as to get to/from the motor registry requires being driven; and rural GP's are often booked out for 3 weeks ahead, and this without the added down-time of Christmas-New Year holiday period thrown in as well!
Solution is to make the Doctors appointment first, then get the form; ... not that I'm likely to be man-handling a heavy motorcycle any time soon anyway!
