Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows anything about car insurance for a driver with a prosthetic leg.

He has been driving his whole life with no claims but I'm doubtful that he will be able to continue to be insured for driving a manual car with a prosthetic whether he is physically able or not. Anyone have any experience with this, information would be much appreciated.
