Hi @sueholdenf, There are a couple of other discussions where other members have shared their thoughts or suggestions on driving when you have neuropathy. For me, I'm hoping I'm wise enough to stop wanting to drive when I can no longer feel my feet on the gas or brake pedals.

I advised myself it was time to stop driving due to the "numbness". Not a safe way to drive.

I have neuropathy from spinal issues in my right lower leg, with numbness, tingling, and intermittent pain. The absolute best thing I did to feel I was safe to continue driving was to trade in my 2009 no-frills Nissan Sentra and buy a 2020 used Altima. The newer cars have WONDERFUL safety features: auto-hold (holds the car while at a stoplight so you don’t have to keep pressing the brake), automatic front braking (slows you down if you’re coming on too fast or too close), automatic lane-centering (keeps you in the middle), automatic rear-braking (if you are coming too close to something while backing up). Driving is SO much easier now. I use the auto-hold at every red light and while in the drive-thru at Dunkin Donuts!
Not to shill for Nissan, but they do have a factory hand-braking system that can be installed if it came to that, but like somebody said on this site- it’s a nerve issue much more than a muscle strength issue. I also looked at Subaru Outbacks- they have all the safety features above too.
For safety, I also don’t drive at night and go to stores at times working people are at work and children are in school (10-2:00, never on weekends)
