OK, I am living in England and can only speak for England.

I have a bandaged hand after a dog bit me, with 3 stitches. I found no information of any use on government or DVLA or highway code web sites regarding this. So I rang the local police.

A rather abrupt officer (for want of a better word) told me ...

Well, here are the points to consider:

  1. Has a doctor / medical practitioner advised you that you shouldn't or can't? If so, following their advice makes sense.
  2. You may be invalidating your insurance if not fit to drive, so calling your insurers would be advisable to check, or perhaps amend if necessary your insurance. If you have an accident without doing so, it may well provide them with the opportunity to refuse paying out.
  3. Do you need to drive? If not, then DON'T! Sorry, rather quoting the kindly words from the aforementioned officer.
  4. All in all, there seems to be no specific driving law regarding this, no automatic fine and points on your license.
  5. The student nurse who bandaged my hand told me there was an automatic fine and points on your license. Is this true I wonder, or just A&E folklore?

This is as much as I can give you I'm afraid. But it all does beggar the question, what if you get injured, hand otherwise, and need to drive yourself to the hospital? Would it be legal? Would you be insured?

Yes, it is legal.. Laws do not cover such small things. You need to use common sense in some matters. If it hampers driving you need to take measures to prevent an accident.

Which hand and fingers did Michael Jackson have bandages on?

It was his right hand; fingers that were bandaged are the smallest one, the ring finger and the right finger. I think the reason he didn't bandage the middle and the thumb is that he'll snap them while he's singing/performing, as a part of choreography.
