Driving with those two fingers broken is actually quite simple. There are a couple of different methods you can use. You can use just the heels of your hands, even to shift a manual. You can also use your index, middle, and the heel to drive as well.

However, might I suggest a cast if your fingers are truly broken?!?!?!

Good Luck,
Jesse

Yeah, I saw your away message about it, what happened? Oh, and be glad you don't have a stick right now.

Not too mention, better hope you get a GF real quick, or those 2 ****ed up hands won't be doin a bit of good.

Standard? Well you can use your knee to steer. Or put your whole arm through the wheel and steer with your wrist but this will probably could cause you more harm then a broken finger.

Can you start the car? With a broken finger on both hands that sounds like another challenge associated with having a finger broke on both hands like that.

You can do it, but since your hands are in a temporary flipping off mode, other drivers might get angry.

Unless you are going to the grociery store, I would not recomend driving if it hurts. You never know when something might jump out in front of your car and you need to steer quickly.
