I have enough feeling and security to know I’m lifting my knee/foot and can feel the pressure against the pedals. However, I only drive in daylight for the added safety of knowing I can glance down at my foot. As for state driving requirements, I believe there’s been a checklist of questions when transferring states 3 times, but none that I had an answer for that had them questioning. I think the only thing they deny is if you can’t pass a vision test, which might be be increased to every 5 years vs 10 yrs when we hit a certain age.

Hi, dpso (@dpso)

I've no problem driving. Of course, I'm unaware of numbness, although the EMG insists I've got some. I'm only troubled by poor balance––poorer at some hours of the day than others. Something Michael J. Fox said in his latest memoir, No Time Like the Future, about one of Parkinson's more curious effects, has stuck with me. Fox said that as challenging as it is for him to walk a straight line on a flat surface, he has far less difficulty going up and down stairs. He believes something is exacting about the "geography" of stairs that tells his brain, "Put your right foot exactly here, now your left foot exactly here, now your right … " I suspect there may be a similar exactness about driving that (at least for me) temporarily clears away the inexactness I contend with when I'm simply trying to walk down the street.
