Yes, I can still drive and turn the steering wheel, but it depends a lot on the car.

In my old VW Bug, I basically can’t drive anymore without major modifications to the seat rails. My Porsche is getting super tight too. I can still drive it depending on what clothes I wear. If my trousers hold my belly inside, it works; if my belly sits over the waistband, it doesn’t.

The BMW is somewhere in between. The newer VW Beetle is actually the best for me right now. There I still have room to grow.

So it’s not impossible, but it’s definitely more restricted now.

And honestly, don’t ask me how they would get me out of the car in case of an accident. Sometimes I also wonder what would happen if the airbag went off with my belly so close to the steering wheel. I have even thought about removing the airbags, but that is difficult to do legally and of course it raises a whole different safety issue. So for now, it’s one of those uncomfortable realities that comes with getting bigger.

Tell me... Do you think I ate too much? 😅
