I was hit by a car riding my bike in college, completely shattered my left tib/fib and broke my left foot.

I had a manual BMW 2002.

Even with a full cast I was able to drive.

I took an old golf club and cut it to size then attached it to the clutch pedal. I was able to manipulate the clutch with my left hand and drive actually well after some practice. The grip on the club was great.

I can't see any reason that wouldn't work with the gas pedal and your right hand.

I know it was stupid, but mobility was key. I did worry about the insurance ramifications should I have an accident while having the car configured with a golf club clutch throw, but I was, let's be frank, stupid.
