However my PT asked if I had gone to the DMV to be tested, which I hadn't and still haven't. Don't even need a left leg to drive an automatic, so it seemed pointless to even seek out a roadtest. I never asked my physiatrist if I could drive because frankly, I have a better understanding of my limitations than she does. If your right leg isn't darn near normal, if you want to be absolutely on the safe side with your insurance coverage you might call your DMV and ask for a roadtest to establish that they feel you are capable of safely operating your vehicle.
