oooh bet that hurt lol.
when i was 17 (3 yrs ago) i tried to fix my window wipers as the motor was fucked. now instead of waiting until the new motor was back in place i held it in my hand when it was connected to the wiper arm etc to see and it cut the top of my thumb off

stick a P plate on your car so people expect you to be a bit slow/shit and just get there with 1 hand.
you can always steer with your knees when changing gear, so no biggy really. I often do this if i have a tinny on the go with no-where to put it down.
