While it might be legal for you to drive, do you feel/believe you can do it safely? If you don’t feel safe don’t let your mother pressure you.

It really all depends upon what state you live in, if in the US. Each state has their own restrictions on degrees of peripheral, except Delaware which has none. If you know how narrow your field is, check it against your state's limits.
Here in PA, I'm too far gone to come close and am happy to be a passenger.

Should you become involved in an accident, your medical records will be shared. Your insurance company may or may not support you.

I have right homogeneous hemianopsia and in New Jersey I *could* legally drive. But I know what I can see and maybe more importantly what I can’t see. I have never driven.

There is one case that I read about, a person with homogeneous hemianopsia sued NJ MVC when they took his license away after like his 19th accident. He lost the case.

Don’t do anything that makes you feel unsafe. Also, if you don’t have enough peripheral vision, you’re probably not even allowed to drive. Driving without a license can be a costly offense. My little brother kept doing it and ended up in county jail for 6 months.

If you are unsure, don't drive. My right eye had an eye stroke and doctor said you can still drive with theleft eye. Then one day driving home from work missed a road I use and realized a problem with the left eye. Then an eye stroke to the left eye a couple of months later. Parked my company car in the driveway in August 2018 and that was the last day I drove, a car anyway. I still cut the grass on a riding mower, but I run into trees once a while among other things getting cut up.
I could not live with myself if I injured or killed someone operating a motor vehicle with my visual impairment.
I am looking forward to the day when Elon Musk (or anyone else) gets that full self dining car approved.
I could use Uber or Lyft, but they are not out by me and when I look for rides the prices are crazy high now, almost double.
Good luck.
Edit for spelling errors.

I think you are doing the responsible thing by avoiding driving while you feel unsafe. If you got in an accident and someone got really hurt I think they would try to use it against you even if that wasn’t the actual cause. i.e. they jaywalked in front of you; you didn’t see them fast enough, couldn’t brake in time

Thank you everyone for commenting and being very helpful. I appreciate every single one of you wholeheartedly.

I am blind in one eye so I don't have much peripheral vision. It is very possible to drive, you just have to be extra careful with checking your blind spots. Maybe practice checking and turning your body more on quieter roads before going on the highway.
