how did your doctors get involved in your drivers license renewal? You can drive your car with hand controls and they are a few hundred dollars. If you can drive why would you report that your ability to drive is affected?

If you get pulled over and they tell you to get out of the car and want to do a filed sobriety test, tell them that you have nerve damage and cannot balance well. There are alternative tests that they do administer such as the alphabet backwards. Keep a cane or something in your car with you. If you have any id cards from state park pass, or federal park pass, or disabled public transportation pass keep it with you to show if you have to.

Many people in wheel chairs drive. you may just need to get hand controls if you feel you cant drive with using your feet.
