I think it's because a) some CTP is invalid for a certain period of time after major surgery and b) the muscles that are extended and contracted in your abdomen when you lift your foot/feet when you drive have something to do with the surgical incision.

So that's why it's suggested you don't drive. I, however, drove from day 6 - there was no way anyone could talk me out of driving down to Brisbane to see my son in the NICU.
