SPRINGFIELD, IL—In an effort to accommodate drivers with declining cognitive function, the Illinois Department of Transportation began issuing dementia placards Thursday that would allow holders to drive on the wrong side of the highway.

“Starting today, drivers suffering from dementia in the state of Illinois can apply for a special permit that will authorize them to drive anywhere they want and at any speed they want, as long as the placard is displayed clearly on the rearview mirror,” said Transportation Secretary Omer Osman, who emphasized that only dementia placard holders would be permitted to careen wildly into oncoming traffic.
