Carole looked at her speedometer, it read 112. From the dash was the sound of a tone, with a woman's voice:
"WARNING, COLLISION UP AHEAD, REDUCE SPEED!"
Driving on the track was by no means safe. Wrecks usually take place two a day. Between the opposite drections of the track is a large net, which usually catch cars which collide and spinoff.
Because of the danger, cars that are fitted barefooting are required to specially customized with 7 air bags, crumple zones and pop out wind sheilds. Carole looked up and saw the wrek approaching. Immediately, she pushed her left bare foot forward and down shifted. Just before impact would have happened, the vehicles involved spun off and landed in the net. Carole slammed her barefeet on the brake pedal, slowing the car down. The wheels locked - momentarily, and then the car slowed quickly.
Carole was slightly frightened but shrugged it off, perhaps some dust got into the mechanism.

****Brief message****
The international federation of highways reminds you
to do a daily dose of exercises. Barefoot drivers should exercise walking on tip toes once a day.
We recommend excercising your feet before driving the track. For faster results, bend toes back and fourth a total of 20 times per excercise. For good braking, put feet together, and toe-stand 5 times.
Bending and arching bare feet are especially recommended for female drivers between 18 and 35 years of age. Remember, healthy feet are speedy feet!

...now back to our story
Carole arrived at her kids' school. Her son and daughter opened the door threw their bags in and sat down in the back seet. Carole wanted to get home in time to meet her husband, and so brought her left foot over her lap and pointed to the sole: "Were late today kids, you know the drill."
Yes, they did, which was to put their seat belts on immediately, and to keep quiet, mother was gonig to be driving barefoot.
Carole's son watched between the seats as his mother put her left bare foot back down and pushed her right bare foot through the sensapedal. She stretched it in and then took a deep breath, clutching the steering wheel, and pushing her bare foot hard, flat on the sensapedal, trying to gain the hottest emotion to speed up for the track.
The car turbo boosted, and everything began speeding up quickly as the slower car going interstate were passed.
As the speedometer reached 95, Carole took one more passionate deep breath, as she stretched her toes and pushed the throttle button with her big toe. Bamb! The jumped to maximum speed. Carole let out a large breath of air, and relaxed her left bare foot off the floor shift.
The kids looked out the window as things wizzed by, and they barfooted at 110mph.
