A system that can detect a driver's condition and as a result, activates one or more of the manually disabled safety features and substantially reduces chances of an accident. Additional actions to alert the driver can occur including, but not limited to, vibration of seats, pedals, and steering wheel, pumping the brakes, blasting the radio could occur. A method includes detecting driver condition of a driver, enabling one or more vehicle safety features of a vehicle and overriding disabled one or more vehicle safety features if: driver impairment is detected while detecting driver condition, and vehicle safety features have been disabled by the driver or a passenger.
