Hello, thank you for your question!
In general, to drive, you need to wait until the c-section is fully healed: No more pain or discomfort with all movements. This can usually take between 4-6 weeks, BUT it is best to confirm this with your doctor first.
Ditto for walking, especially with the risks of falling on ice.
Hope this helped, I'm still available if you have any other questions!
