I drove at 1.5 weeks, short 15 minute city drives, automatic, no stick shift.
Then at 4 weeks I drove 1.5 hours of freeway which was longer then I was able to drive before the surgery with less problems but it was a little long as I had a hard time getting out of the car and it hurt pretty good but for a much shorter time then before.

I was told the risk of being in a car is that of a collision which *might* dislocate or do damage to the adr very early after the surgery but that otherwise there as no reason why I would not be able to drive a car as the adr would not care.
