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)
