Cindy,

I was evaluated by my PT to be able to drive and I never  had any  
modifications.  I remember when I was first learning,  we figured out  
that I could not hit the brake with my toes or I  would spasm, but if  
I hit it with the middle of my foot I was less  likely to spasm.  But  
I did spasm quite a bit before I relaxed  in my abilities and frankly,  
developed the muscle strength and  stamina to push on the gas/brake  
for an extended trip.  I  remember when I took the driving test I told  
the guy that my leg  would shake but that I still had control of  
braking.  To this  day I still wear out brake pads faster than you  
should, not so much  from driving fast and braking too much, but more  
from pushing so  hard on the brake to keep from spasming!  I also  
remember that  when I was still learning to drive, I could go for  
about a half hour  before less muscle fatigue set in while highway  
driving, so we got  cruise control on the car and that was no longer  
an  issue.
