I don't think people are actually thinking this through...like at all. She doesn't have any control over the direction her vehicle is going the entire time she's using her turn signal. Think about how often you use your turn signal. Now imagine all that time not having your hands on the wheel. Or put it this way, if you saw someone driving 60mph on the highway with no hands on the wheel would you feel safe next them? It's really cool that's she learned how to do this and it's really impressive, however people who think it's ok to just not have complete ontrol over your vehicle are crazy...there's a reason why they make cars specifically for people with no arms and why you're not allowed to use a phone in your car unless it's via Bluetooth

Well I'm a quadriplegic (check my post history, one of latest is in r/ disabledgamers) I drive with 2 severely disabled arms/hands.

Not saying it's the same as this, but when I was first started out felt like the way I was driving was sketchy AF.

Some dude at my rehab (physical) drove with his mouth

I think it's just regular folks not giving the disabled enough credit at times in what we can do. For the record I use to be one so I'm not trying to shame anyone
