Hi Jo @jo27, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. I have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy and I'm still able to drive. I think a lot depends on your ability to feel and manage the gas and brake foot pedals. There are a couple of other discussions you may find helpful.

Are you able to share a little more about your neuropathy diagnosis and how long you have had neuropathy?

As ever John you are a wealth of knowledge! I still have trepidation driving with numb feet, but getting more use to it anyway. I’ll definitely read through the info on the driving discussion though.
My vehicle has radar cruise control…so helpful, you set it however many car lengths behind you want to stay and the speed. It automatically slows down if you get too close. Much easier on one’s feet and legs.
