im sure if there were lorry drivers around they would apreciate this idea

It would ruin the top of your shoes, and your foot is more sensitive at the top. It would hurt.

Instead; An adjustment to your original idea: The accelerator works the same as it does today EXCEPT that the top part of the accelerator gives you maximum speed, and pressing all the way down gives the slowest speed. What could go wrong with that?
