A disqualified motorist with epilepsy who took a seizure and crashed claimed he wasn't driving.
Eddy Christopher, 49, ploughed into a barrier in Glasgow's Parkhouse on March 21, 2020.
Christopher - whose licence was medically revoked in 2017 - told police: "I can do crazy things when I have a fit. I don't know why I was in driver seat".
But, he was caught with the keys in his jacket pocket and a police check found he was also disqualified from driving in 2018.
Christopher pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to dangerous driving and driving while disqualified.
Sheriff Martin Jones QC jailed Christopher for 14 months and banned him from driving for more than five years.
The sheriff said: "Custody is necessary as you knew when you got behind the wheel of the car you did so in full knowledge you had an underlying medical condition which could present itself.
"It would present a danger to members of the public and when you were driving you were fortunate no one was injured.
"You also drove the vehicle when you were disqualified due to an offence involving alcohol."
An earlier hearing was told a witness spotted Christopher behind the wheel of a Nissan Quashqai after 12pm.
Prosecutor Jenny Reid said: "As the vehicle passed, he appeared to be having what she thought to be a fit or seizure.
"Witnesses attended at the vehicle to assist Christopher who was sat within the driver seat and still appeared to be suffering from the effect of the seizure."
A 999 call was made and officers found Christopher in the driver's seat.
A check discovered that Christopher was banned from driving until August 2022.
Christopher was checked over by ambulance crews before being charged by police for dangerous driving.
He replied: "I wasn't driving, I can do crazy things when I have a fit. I don't know why I was in driver seat".
In response to having no insurance, he again stated: "I wasn't driving."
Christopher, of the city's Lambhill, was also searched and the car keys were recovered.
Marisa Borland, defending, told the sentencing that Christopher cannot recall driving the car.
The lawyer added: "He accepts he had taken a deliberate decision to drive.
"He can't remember how he came to be driving the car.
"He recognises the serious consequences of being behind the wheel and it's good fortune that neither he or a member of the public was injured."
It was revealed that Christopher was banned from driving in August 2018 as a result of failing to do a breath test.
A sheriff told him on that occasion: "You could kill someone" and that he was a "nuisance on the road."
