Seriously - how could you drive with your rt foot in a huge cast?
Why couldn't he drive with his left foot?
@Shaunac Huh??? You can brake with your left foot but getting your left foot over to the gas pedal would be impossible.

@saltysails. I'm with you; I have no idea what she's talking about. Some people haven't learned that one picture is worth 1,000 words.

Not impossible.
A friend of mine does not have a right foot and drives with his left foot.

A friend of mine needs foot surgery this year, she has RA and all the therapy & shots are finally not working.
She told me she may give one of those scooters a chance. But she's like me, not real coordinated. I think she was told to stay off her foot for 6 weeks. Totally OFF. But I think they would approve the scooter.

I've tried it. I can't remember why, but maybe just to test something I'd read somewhere. Not easy at first, but doable. Of course, it has to be an automatic transmission, not manual. I couldn't do it in my manual transmission car.

@Shaunac The issue was driving with your left foot because your right foot is in a huge cast which could be in the way. Driving with the left foot because one is missing a right foot is a different scenario.
That was what I was responding to-the cast on the right foot would certainly deter the left foot being able to reach the gas pedal.
And not all cars are created equal-that is why there are modified cars with specific controls for specific disabilities.
Your friend is fortunate that his car allows him to drive with his left foot but not everyone could do so-especially with a large cast.

Someone at WW had one of those on for a few weeks. Wonder about balancing ...
Maybe the vehicle she drove, was like the handicapped have. Buttons. ????
