Not if it is on your right foot. If its on your left foot and the car is an automatic (you only need one foot to drive it) then you can drive it legally. If the cast is on your right foot then you can get a ticket for driving that way. You have to wait until your doctor says you can take the cast off. Be patient, its not worth getting in an accident or getting a ticket and having your insurance rates go up. I am also presently fighting this problem and havent driven myself anywhere in over a month now.
