The First Fast Driver

The First Fast Driver

You can't just drive a car as fast as you want. If you go over the "speed limit," you get a speeding ticket as punishment. So who got the first speeding ticket ever? Walter Arnold in 1896, for driving 8 miles per hour! Back then cars were very new and no one knew how to drive, so people kept crashing. That's why the speed limit was only 2 mph - to keep everyone safe. Good thing we're allowed to drive faster today, or we'd get nowhere!
