Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

When I was arrested, the police impounded my mothers car, and to get it back, we were both required to sign an affidavit saying that I wouldn't drive the car and my mom wouldn't knowingly let me drive the vehicle.

Last night I had the four felonies reduced to a disorderly conduct charge and a 1 year misdemeanor conditional discharge. However, now that the case is resolved basically, am I allowed to drive my mom's car? Is the affidavit no longer valid now that legal proceedings are over?

You can drive her car only if she lets you. Her promise probably has no legal basis.
