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

My father-in-law has a similar arrangement, he lost the use of his right side years ago due to a stroke. He has 2 accelerator pedals, as you say, when one is up t'other is down, there's 2 bowden cables connecting the 2 pedals.
