Too Awkward to Drive
It seems if you have a big foot then you can’t drive a Volvo C70. A German judge has ordered a Volvo dealership to compensate a man with size 12 feet because he couldn't operate the accelerator pedal on his new Volvo C70 convertible. Michael Herzog, from the town of Wiesloch, was awarded £1,350 to buy a specially made pair of trainers that would allow him to drive the car.
The court ruled that Herzog's feet 'were not abnormally large', and that Volvo should have catered for his ample appendages. Therefore, he was also compensated for the time he would spend changing back into street shoes afterwards!
Could this be the tip of the iceberg? The concern about the environment and climate change has seen an increase in the number of so called ecologically friendly vehicles. One of the easiest ways to make cars more fuel efficient is to make them smaller. But what will this mean for larger people?
