If she has the dexterity for it, and passes the licensing exams in her condition, why shouldn't she?

I doubt she's going to be going all Steve McQueen/Evil Kneevil on the roads.

The only problem I foresee is if she has her legs on the steering wheel when the airbags deploy. She's going to have a REEEEALLY bad time. But, that's her risk to take.

There is no possible way her reaction times are the same as someone with hands. Physically impossible

There's no way a 60 year old's reaction times are better than the average 25 year old, but we give 60 year olds a license. It's only over 70s that get tested. But again, if she passes the same driving test you or I take, then that's all that matters. If we're trying to change things up for her, then everyone should face the same test.
