2 feet = 2 pedals .... Life could not be more simple ..
Absolute logic but what if you're a unipod??
Convert 1 pedal (I suggest the right hand one !!) to a hand throttle, leaves 1 foot = 1 pedal ... simple
Having said that .. a friend of mine who lost his right leg in a motorbike accident over 40 years ago has a modified disco auto, which is quite neat. Has an "extra" accelerator pedal to the LEFT of the brake pedal for him to use, but the mechanical arangement is such - and I don't know how its done - that when "his" pedal is available .. the "normal" one isn't.
When his wife drives the car, she pulls a lever and the "normal" pedal becomes active and "his" is deactivated.
Ensures that you can't put your foot on a pedal you might think is a clutch and choose full throttle instead !!
It is a neat arrangement
