Epilepticar

One seizure and you lose your drivers license. This can be so unfair. Seizures can be very infrequent, and the medicines are good. But the rule remains. It is hard to argue that seizures should just be ignored, though - a seizure while driving can be catastophic.

The solution: Epilepticar. Several aspects of this car and rules governing its use improve safety for car and driver. 1. Epilepticar cannot be driven over 40 mph. It is for city use only. 2. It is painted visible orange. 3. The accelerator is a antipedal: the foot is placed underneath and the pedal is lifted. In a grand mal seizure, extensors dominate - and if the foot is suddenly locked in extension on the gas pedal it would be bad. In the epilepticar, this shuts off the gas. 4. Autobrake. Unless the car is getting a little gas, it automatically brakes. 5. Flashing light. A timer counts off every minute, and the driver must periodically hit a button on the wheel to reset it. If it is not reset, an alarm goes off inside the car and 5 seconds later a light goes on on the car roof. This notifies other drivers that the car occupant has been disabled by a seizure.

The antipedal by itself is worthy of a croissant, as it would avoid the problem of panicky stamping on the accelerator.
