Driving is a complicated task at the best of times, but one driver has beaten difficult circumstances and instead of using hands, has been driving with feet.

From concentration skills to special parking techniques, the art of driving is something that needs to be mastered.

One woman, though, has showcased her incredible determination to drive after she was born without upper limbs.

She uses a special method to move her car, and her perseverance on the road has left car enthusiasts in awe.

This woman has been driving with feet after being born without upper limbs

Getting behind the wheel of a car is a task that many of us take on every day, but one woman has shown how she takes to the road in a different set of circumstances.

Meet Dejana.

She was born without her upper limbs, but hasn’t let this stop her from doing the things she loves, including driving.

Remarkably, she drives with her feet, proving that many limits that we often face are all to do with the way we think.

Thanks to her determination, Dejana gained her driving license successfully and has been driving safely for two years.

After her method helped her to take to the road, it’s important to note that many new cars often come with assisted driving modes too, which could help out others even further.
