I cannot feel the accelerator at all, and keep a close eye on the speedometer. I also have to be very careful which shoes I drive in, some throw me off completely and make it impossible to keep my foot on the pedal. A few times my foot has slipped and I have had a scary second or two trying to put it back. I only drive locally, at low, in town, speeds.
Be careful driving. I know what you are saying. I have had my shoes slip off pedal or my pedal get stuck in back of sandle and for a second it's like complete loss of control. It is scary.
