You’ve never seen the vehicles modded for drivers with disabilities? Yes, there are vehicles that have been modified for drivers with no arms.
Saw a guy pumping gas with his foot a couple weeks ago and had to do a double take. Then rolled out of the parking lot, reclined seat and foot on the steering wheel like 90's gangster style. It was impressive watching him operate without arms.

Then I wondered how dirty his feet are. I mean, peoples' hands are generally pretty filthy and if you're walking around in birks all day your feet would get pretty gross, too. His feet are doing both those things. Lol. I get pretty bored at work sometimes.
 
Or taekwondo. Knew a couple taekwondo champs in HS who won matches (and street fights) with just their kicks (they weren’t disabled. They just didn’t get around to throwing a punch, or even using their hands to block).

In my early teens, I did see a guy with no arms (and another one who was blind) compete in karate kumite.

TBH, the only reason either one didn’t get eliminated in the first match, was because their opponents were confused and hesitant about what would be considered sporting, so neither one was willing to go all out, allowing those kids to score, and actually win their first couple matches.

I think the later opponents decided it was more embarrassing to lose against them, than to ‘beat a cripple’, because they realistically didn’t stand a chance against able bodied opponents (can’t really block hits/points with no arms = the opponent pretty much has the ability to score at will).

Kudos on their spirit, though.

10:1 that guy doesn’t get tummy aches after eating gas station subs/sushi 😅
