    Having your arm closest to the shift in a sling, for example, makes your vehicle undrivable.

    I broke my right shoulder and spent two months driving my stick shift SC2 (in the US) entirely with my left hand. It’s doable, you just have to shift really quickly and get your hand back on the steering wheel. Not having the use of both feet would probably kill the deal.

      If you get the RPM just right, you can absolutely shift gear without a left leg. I used to drive the paddock bomb around the farm as a kid with my left foot on the dashboard. This is not advisable on the freeway.

        Well, I still drive a manual (I’ve never owned an automatic except for my school bus) so if I ever fuck up one of my feet I’m sure I’m going to try that.
