Get a ride/take a taxi (don't drive!!) to the court. Be respectful and explain that you still couldn't get your license because of your injuries. The judges are reasonable people and it would usually take unusual circumstances for them not to excuse your status assuming you have disclosed all of the facts to me.

People who come to court without a license and an excuse; but then get into their car and drive off (as the driver) after court have been arrested and jailed. The judges are not stupid and often have their marshals check out the stories of people with that kind of excuse.
